Great Eco-travel tips!
Not sure how many people would have read this page on myHPtravel… may be worth re-iterating in a newsletter and/or displays etc.?

How can we incentivize the average consumer to even think about the issue of using single use plastics for beverages, milk, juices, etc? Though glass bottles are offered on some products, and cardboard cartons with plastic spouts on a few others, the vast majority of products choices are still only available in single use plastic at most grocery stores and supermarkets. All ideas welcome.

Really educational and eye opening visit to the Boulder Recycling Center (Boulder, CO) - one of the leaders in the country on advanced recycling processes. They have a really good guided tour for groups of 10 or more people (needs advanced reservation). You get to see first hand, the whole process and challenges of actually processing recycling, real insights into what can and cannot be recycled etc (shocking how so much non recyclable stuff ends up there). Strongly recommended!
