Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How you can get hotels to use less plastic
When you stay in a hotel room, you’ll find a
variety of plastic items, such as the room key, bottled water, and toiletry bottles.
According to the chain scale segment in 2018, there are over five million hotel
rooms in the U.S. Imagine how much single-use plastic is disposed of from there
daily and yearly. However hard you try to reduce the use of such environmentally
unfriendly materials in your daily life, you still find many hotels are still
depending on such convenient and economical plastic items. But things are changing.
More hotels are eying sustainability, avoidance of the depletion of natural
resources to maintain an ecological balance, to become more competitive and guest
friendly. They are driven by customer feedback more than ever before to stay
competitive, thanks to guests’ reviews and comments on hotel booking sites.
Sooner or later, you’ll find more hotels
offer non-plastic room keys, purified water machines, and large pomp-topped
bottles in the bathroom. Will you enjoy the stay better that way?
Indeed, sustainability seems to drive
businesses to save the planet.
Enjoy reading the article and think about what
you can do to travel in a more environmentally friendly way.
