問題詳情

閱讀測驗Hotels are changing their wasteful habits and getting involved in the move to save the environment. Atmajor hotels throughout the world, guests are being greeted by shampoo and mouthwash in glass dispensersinstead of elaborate plastic bottles. They are discovering recycling bins in their rooms, and are encouraged to usetowels more than once before they are washed.This green movement is becoming increasingly popular among tourists who look for service providers withan environmental conscience. The business of eco-tours is increasing rapidly. Travel agents are booking clientson “Save the Rainforest” expeditions and similar trips where the emphasis is on protecting the world.The tourists on these trips are given lectures on the effects of the loss of our planet’s natural wondersand what they can do to reverse the trend. They do not need much convincing. The travelers on these excursionsare already committed to environmental protection. In fact, a two-year study of litter in Antarctica found that theentire collection of litter left by visitors to the continent could be put in one small sandwich bag. Compare thatamount of litter with what the average traveler finds strewn on the streets around a hotel, even anenvironmentally sensitive hotel.
