People are becoming more environmentally friendly. At home, at work and in their activities. And people are realizing more and more that traveling can be easier on the environment as well. Ecotourism has been an active and growing industry for awhile and now that concern is being more specifically applied to the area of Green Lodging.

Green Lodging includes resorts, hotels, motels, inns, bed and breakfast and lodges which meet the standards for environmental responsibility. Several states in the US have implemented Green Lodging Programs. And many more are sure to follow. Each state is a little different but they all allow for feedback and interaction from travelers and seek input about their programs and implementation.

State-run Green Lodging Programs are typically on a voluntary basis and are non-regulatory. That way there is less coercion from state governments and the hotels are more incentivized to participate. Green policies and practices are beneficial to the business owners because they help the bottom line. Not only do they contribute to healthier environment, they also help save money. Using less water, heating and cooling, wasteful packaging, producing less waste and many other benefits all translate into better business practices as well.
