Sometimes when you’re traveling, just can’t help it – you need easy and fast when it comes to where you lay your head. And sometimes it isn’t even up to you where you stay. But when it is in your hands and you have a little time to do some research on the town you’re staying in and the options available to you, I’d encourage you (not that I need to!) to check out the more eco-friendly options available. Many of these may be locally-based, boutique-type hotels that will generally be more pricey (and I say, do it if you can!), but if you’re looking for something more fixed-price and standard, take a look at my roundup of the eight most green-friendly hotel chains in America.
(Hint: if you want a quick look at options in your state, check out this list of green-approved resting places. You can also check for these seals of approval.)

I would love to know the name of the hotel featured on this page, as it hasn't been identified. Could the author of this piece share that? Would be much appreciated!
thanks
I'm with you Merideth. We would have been much greener reading this post had we not have to waste so much energy clicking through 10 pages!
I also noticed that with some chains, only one hotel in a particular location was mentioned. I thought they made it to the list because the green policies apply throughout the chains' properties.
I agree with Merideth. I would have loved to have seen a "read all" or something similar. Another alternative would be a true "slideshow", where just the image and caption change without reloading the entire page. Throw in some thumbnails and you've got yourself a real website.
As it is, I don't really need this information that badly, so I'll just skip the last 9 pages. But I will accept my 20 butterfly credits. Thanks.
Looking at these photos brings out an "Andy Rooney Moment" in me: What is it with so many hotels and motels piling on the pillows nowadays?? What was wrong with just one pillow per person? I have to spend part of my time in the room just looking for cubbyholes to stash all of the extra pillows and get them out of the way because some of these rooms today are so small anyway. Sheesh!
Nice to know. Thanks.
Some of this information is quite useful. However, Care2 should get up to speed with other informative websites, and offer the option to "click here to read article in one page."
More and more, I'm resenting the amount of time I waste clicking through the slideshows, and I know I'm not alone.
Health and peace.
Thanks for sharing this information.
thanks
