Ethical living: Is is worth reusing our hotel towels? | Environment | The Observer
Can the small, everyday actions of businesses and citizens dent the footprint of mankind in any meaningful way? Could the road to redemption begin with hotel guests curbing their enthusiasm for the sort of freshly laundered towels you just don't get at home and following those annoying signs in hotel bathrooms?
