The article is a list of 15 hotels that are ‘eco-friendly’ and can be booked with points. The most amusing detail is that one of them, the Hotel Marcel New Haven, is the country’s first net-zero-energy hotel. That’s a fancy way of saying it doesn’t use any fossil fuels. But if you’re staying there, you can still take a complimentary electric car service within five miles. It’s like the hotel is saying, ‘We’re green, but we still want you to drive.’ The irony is that the hotel’s entire mission is to be as sustainable as possible, but it’s still offering a car service. Maybe the car is powered by a solar panel that’s also charging your phone. Either way, it’s a reminder that even the greenest hotels can’t escape the modern world’s reliance on convenience.
