I've been there a few times since my sister lives near DC. I'll look for them on my next trip. Thanks. Jennifer, maybe I’ll do that. : )

It would be nice to see hotels doing more recycling. One bit of happy news: we flew out and back to BWI airport and, when we got home, I noticed the airport had installed recycling stations. In fact, I think they installed them while we were away, because I don't recall ever seeing them before.

I carry bags for dirty clothes, so I can use those for recycling stuff (take it home), but that's a HUGE hassle. Hmmm, you should start emailing hotels.

It has around 3,000 properties that have been Green Eco-Leaf Rated. It's also a social networking site similar to Facebook - TripAdvisor - and Expedia but all wrapped up into one website for the eco-friendly traveler to hang out at. Their members write reviews on the properties they stay at based on their "Green" initiatives, so basically the public is creating an accountability system that forces the property owners to be truthful in their claims and do something about becoming more environmentally friendly.
