Thanks Meghan. To be honest, I had no idea fabric could be recycled into new clothes. We collect tons of clothing at move out time. Most is donated to organizations that can distribute the clothes. But some is so gross we toss it. Where can we recycle it?

Thanks to organizations like the Green Hotels Association, Economically Sound, WTTC, and the ITP, hotels are on a trend to become more involved in environmental issues. The Linen Reuse Program is most popular currently, hotels simply ask their guests if it is necessary to wash the sheets every night. This program has been on the rise for awhile now but the newest trend is for hotels to calculate their carbon footprint. I can only see the interest in hotels becoming more environmentally friendly increasing.

What is cool about the cards in hotel rooms about reusing towels is that psychologists have studied it extensively. They have found that tweaking the wording can have a huge impact on towel reuse rates. http://csi.gsb.stanford.edu/room-viewpoint

Many people in the northeast U.S are switching to burning wood or wood pellets to save money on heating costs. Wood and wood pellets are cheaper than oil and are said to cut the heating expenses in the northeast in half. Its also much less of a burden on the environment. Burning wood releases about 0.055 kg of CO2 per kWH compared to 0.3kg for coal. This is a great way to save money and help reduce pollution!

A company focused on creating dyed fabrics with virtually no use of water. By using little to no water, this company is really helping cut down the carbon footprint of the fashion industry.
