Ant that's just water, not counting coke and such...
But I can see how tempting it is for starwood properties to save $ by not offering 169M bottles and claim "greening" along the way
Did I not make the point in my post saying everying is relative to what you compare it against! As I have said previously if we invoke that logic to everything then no one would ever do anything!
Interesting point that the US consumes a quarter of the bottles of water for the entire world dont you think! I would be curious to know how many people here against dispensers providing they are reasonable quality, not tacky and have a good quality product in them are from the US.
Another thought is quite often in the showers you run out of shower gel, especially if there are 2 of you in the room, providing dispensers are kept full this issue would also be eliminated.
