If you've stayed at a hotel any
time in the past ten years, you've see them. Those stickers, placards, and door
tags that tell you how the hotel you’re staying is all hot and bothered to save
the environment and only you can do it!
They usually ask you to employ
some code that will alert the chambermaid that you're environmentally minded
and not some tosser that needs a freshly laundered towel
every time you get wet. They say that if you will place your towel in a
specific place, then you will identify that you're environmentally responsible
and if not, you're wasteful.
The problem with these schemes
is that they depend on the housekeeping staff to be as environmentally
responsible as you choose to be. It depends on the room attendant not taking
the towel you have hung in the shower on the rod and replacing it with one that
has been freshly laundered for my pleasure.
All week I have been hanging my
towel, all week it has disappeared and been replaced with a freshly laundered
one. So much for environmentalism…
Wherever you are today, I hope
you're doing your bit for the environment!
