G WELCOME TO BERLIN G Your TIPS on how to live & work greener Ex-Berliner, Elena Resera suggested lowering the brightness of your screen, not only saves energy, but also makes your eyes less tired at the end of the day! How about asking the catering company to use organic, local produce? Or at least ordering our weekly fruit from a local organic farm? - Polly MARIE-CHRISTINE OSTEROP, Manager of Customer Service Europe (right), stopped by the Berlin office this month to meet with Berlin‘s very own, ANIKA TANNEBAUM, CS Manager Germany (left) & CLAUDIA ANDERSEN, CS Manager Berlin (middle). 1 CARLA PLACER NUMBELA will be the debut profile for Berlin in the Booking.com new global magazine, B.EOPLE. We can be proud to have such an inspirational debut being featured in a new publication. Thanks, Carla!2 always has the best ideas. Turn off the lights on the balconies during the day. - Nothing ever passes Rene‘s watchful eyes. And if you want a lesson in being green, check out the video, How to Use One Paper Towel, that Claudia Franze suggested under the Green Deeds Se ction of the Booking Blue Wiki. Bonjour Berlin, René and I are writing to you from fantastic Paris! We thought we were in Berlin when we saw a little Brandenburger Tor that the people here call “Arc de Triomphe” and then we got lost! Thankfully we found a magic Booking.com office where a temporary CS team has been working hard for the whole hot summer and decided to stay. People, places, food and the weather here are great, what else could we wish for? ….Yyes….OK….Let´s admit it: we miss you, guys! We will come back soon. Take care! Au revoir!
