Green Travel 2010 part One

Just spent one night at a Holiday Inn Express in Silver Springs, Florida.  They professed to be a Green hotel recycling all their paper and plastic yet they only had recycle bins out front and none in the breakfast room where most of the trash was created.  They said they did not think to put bins in there but would change that detail in the future.

They reused their paper at the front desk but it was stock paper with no post cunsumer products in it (recycled).

They did have energy efficient fridges and microwaves in the rooms along with efficient air-conditioners.
But they used VOC paint in their stairwells.

They were open to suggestions and look to becoming Greener in the future.
