Create Your Own Action

No more hotel toiletry bottles!

I have long been annoyed by the plastic waste associated with those miniature shampoos and other toiletries found in each and every hotel room I visit! I just can’t even imagine how many bottles the hotel industries use on a daily basis worldwide! And all of those plastic bottles go into our landfills! What a waste! Why not offer shampoo dispensers that can be refilled, or perhaps offer shampoo bars wrapped in paper as an alternative to all of those bottles! I recently stayed at a hotel and included my suggestions in my review. Let’s join together and do the same! BOYCOTT THE BOTTLES!!!!!

    I recently stayed at a hotel and am disturbed by the plastic bottles offered to each and every guest in each hotel room!  I can’t even imagine how many plastic bottles are wasted in all of the hotels worldwide on a daily basis!  The numbers must be astronomical!!!  And most of those go right into our landfills!  I wrote a review on my hotel and included suggestions for alternatives, and am encouraging everyone to BOYCOTT THE BOTTLES!!!!
