  With the world becoming more aware of the need to recycle, hotels are making efforts to decrease their environmental footprint but taking steps to reduce their energy use. Some hotels according to the article are using "vermicomposting" to eliminate any waste that is created in their hotel. I think that its a good system for smaller boutique hotels, however there can be some financial perks for larger hotels and resorts by selling the compost to agricultural firms. It's becoming more trendy for hotels and resorts to instal low flow faucets and other bathroom fixtures as well as use compact incandescent light bulbs. There are some hotels that control the HVAC of the property wirelessly to reduce the use of wasted energy in the rooms and lower emissions. Its important for our industry to make significant changes immediately in order to decrease our overall footprint.
