Americans leave green behind when checking into hotels
Do Americans act environmentally when they visit hotels? No, they check that concern at the door, according to a survey released by Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
For example:
ü Most of those polled said they are less likely to conserve water and electricity while they are away from home.
ü More than 6-in-10 said they were using more because they knew it would be free.
ü Nearly 70% of respondents said they open a new mini-bottle of shampoo each time they shower at a hotel.
ü Almost two-thirds said they were more likely to leave the lights on at a hotel than at home.
ü Three out of four hotel guests believe it is important to have their sheets and towels changed each day – “an environmentally unfriendly habit few practice at home,” commented Starwood.
ELEMENT Hotels, a new extended-stay brand from the White Plains-based Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., commissioned research firm STUDYLOGIC to conduct the telephone survey.
