The greeen stuff is turned up to 11 in France. A few interesting quirks:
1. Single-use water bottles have attached lids. When you unscrew the lid, a small strand of plastic holds the lid to the neck. Does this reduce the overall environmental load? No, but it does not reduce the number of loose bottle lids on the ground. This is a costless gain.
2. The room lights are dependent on having the room keycard in a slot at the entrance. This is annoying, because if you need to leave the room, whoever is in the bathroom is suddenly in darkness. Yes, you can get a second cardkey. I have seen this in a couple U.S. hotels as well.
Single use water bottles with attached lids are all over Europe. IIRC, it originated in the UK, but is all over the continent.
ReplyDeleteKinda like the change in aluminum cans here in the us from pull tabs to the now attached tabs.
It works, at least to keep the smaller pieces from floating around the environment.
