Exclusive Hotels perfect the "green turndown"

A leaf-shaped door hanger gives guests at its hotels the chance to support the group's efforts to reduce its impact on the environment. "This little card is to help you make your stay greener should you so wish", it reads, before outlining the concessions to environmental best practice that guests commit to by hanging it on their door. These include:

* Towels left for a second day

* Lights and television left off when the room is empty

* Toiletries left unreplenished until finished.

I like this idea. It helps Exclusive Hotels do right by the planet and offers guests a simple yet theatrical means of playing their part as well.
