Hoteliers are known for being trendsetters and early adopters, so it's no surprise that they're at the forefront of the latest green initiative - using mobile devices to help make their hotels more sustainable.

Sustainability is not just a travel buzzword. It's an issue consumers care about. Plenty of people won’t feel good about a vacation if they know it’s adding to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a stretch of trash piling up in the ocean for thousands of miles. Nor will they feel positive about booking a vacation connected with an organization known for disregarding a local economy’s well-being.
