it is a very nice article which i suppose give us good informations. I still would like to see what questions were asked and to whom. I'm in the hotel industry and cannot says that guests behave better in hotels than at home. To many still don't switch TV or showers off. They are very good at recycling, I admit, but the that we make it very easy for them to so help. There is still a long way to go. The survey has been conducted on behalf of Samsung electronics , so i wonder if this is not another clever piece of greenwash. A couple of facts ( certainly true) and then they let slip "eco-friendly appliances like energy efficient flat screen TVs." And by the way, we sell that. I think they could have asked " do people really want a TV in their hotel room?"

According to this survery only 29% want green hotels whatever that means & bet 99.99% of them would only want it, if it worked out cheaper, which it should, but probably doesn't. All this green nonscience talk is all about making money, not about the environment. BEWARE THE NEXT ICE AGE IS COMING !!!!

Market research is always needed and welcomed but to be really useful it needs to be more than just a self-serving recommendation to update TVs. Spin tells us nothing.
