Yeah, plastic disposal in the US is not great,

But just stopping making it is a bit too much of a sweet dream at the moment. Viable alternatives needs to be developed. However, that should not stop anyone from removing unnecessary plastic use, or reduce current use.

And while Marriott's change here may just be a drop in the bucket in some peoples' view. I'll gladly support the drops of change. In a Four Points right now, and the dispensers are absolutely OK. If they chose the same solution for my next St Regis stay, I'd be a bit miffed. But I am sure they can find a nice solution for a St R as well.
