Want eco-friendly towers? Start by digging deep - The Globe and Mail - 0 views

  •  
    Four new luxury towers going up in downtown Toronto have missed the opportunity to tap into geothermal energy - and reduce their energy footprints accordingly. Tom Rand, the clean-tech adviser at MaRS (the non-profit innovation institute in Toronto's downtown hospital district) is the owner of the Planet Traveller eco-hotel soon to open just west of the MaRS complex, on College Street.Rand had grown cynical about the "greenwashing" of the hotel industry (properties trumpeting themselves as eco-friendly because they provide daily new towels and sheets only on request). He determined, instead, to create a low-carbon hostel for young travellers. Nov 6, 2009
