There really is no excuse for the stats released from ELEMENT Hotels, a new division of Starwood Hotels & Resorts:

• 59% of frequent travelers admit to letting their "green routines" slip when traveling
• 60% of those surveyed are more likely to leave a light on in the hotel bathroom than at home
• 63% are more likely to leave a light on when they leave a hotel room than home
• 70% open a new mini-bottle of shampoo each time they shower on the road
• 75% think it's important to have fresh sheets and towels daily in a hotel

The bottom line:

• 62% say, "when I stay in a hotel, one reason I use water and energy less efficiently is because I don't have to pay for it"

Come on folks, just because you're on vacation or business travel doesn't mean your good habits have to go to hell in a hand basket!
