Eco friendly hotels – would you pay extra?

eco-friendly-hotelsTravel discussion: Here is something to discuss if hotels are installing cost saving power sources, should you pay more or less for an Eco friendly or green hotel room.

A recent green survey poll of 8,000 people found that more than half (58%) say Eco friendly energy sources, such as wind, solar or hydro-electric power, should be used.

Almost half (48%) say hotels should use more efficient electrical appliances, like flat screen energy efficient TVs.

Nearly two thirds (65%) say all hotels should install low flow toilets designed to save water.

*More than three quarters(76%) are as conscious or more conscious of the impact they have on the environment when staying in hotels compared with their behaviour at home

*88% switch off the lights when they leave their hotel room

*65% reuse towels more than once

*52% still switch electrical equipment off at the base

So what do you think should hotel pass these savings on to you, or do you think they will be greedy and keep the prices up for the privilege of staying in a green hotel, and more to the point would you pay the extra..
