Plenty can be said about eco this and eco that. It seems everything is going green these days. So, how can you tell what is really good for the environment and what is not?Good question. For starters, when it comes to hotels and the travel industry, there are few truly well recognized accreditation sources. Green Globe is probably the most common, but not so among U.S. based hotel companies, where getting the story straight gets even trickier than in Western Europe, Southeast Asia or Central and South America.
My best advice: research the particular area or property you are interested in visiting. Find out what they do in regards to waste management, energy management and local environmental conservation. These are usually the most common identifiers in determining a property's true eco colors.
