Hotels Need to Get With the Program
Years ago, hotels got a lot of grief over the massive amount of unnecessary laundry they did on towels, sheets and other linens. Most major hotels responded with a towel re-use programs.
The idea is simple: if you want a new towel, throw the old one on the floor; if not, hang it up.
Today, while visiting a Holiday Inn in Boxborough, Massachusetts, my towels were replaced despite being hung up–something that I feel has been happening a lot over the past few years.
Evidently I’m not the only one.
These programs truly a win-win: saving money for hotels and helping the environment through using less water.
What gives? It’s not that complicated.

The Times They Are a Changin’
The DNC yesterday announced that it will no longer accept contributions from registered federal lobbyists or political action committees.
Obama has done just fine without this potentially tainted money, so I’m glad to see that he’s pushing other groups to follow his lead. Now it’s time for the DCCC and DSCC to step up to the plate.
