You bring up an interesting point about airports. It seems that each state's aviation administration or airport authority controls whether or not recycling is available within the different airports in that state. In my own travels, I have noticed dramatically different levels of recycling in airports--from none at all to cans only to a variety of bin choices. I would contact your state's office about how it might be possible to increase recycling in your local airports. I love the idea about the take home soap bags! The main reason I take my own soap usually to hotels is because of the potential waste. Glad to hear that this is something chains are aware of! Hi Carla.

SO many bottls and newspapers being tossed there, it makes my individual efforts at home feel pointless at times. I stayed at a hotel in maine that had a separate blue wastebasket for recyclables adn also a wax paper bag to take home your once-used soap in. otherwise, right to the landfill! neither of these makes the hotel any money. just a good thing to do. holiday inn, BTW. how cna we get recycling programs into airports?
