Sometimes it’s hard to find all of the best articles to read when there is so much great content on blogs and travel websites.  At RezHub.com, we are always trying to make your life easier, so here are some of our favorite articles of the week!

  1. Book reuse program starts at destination hotels and resorts: Destination Hotels & Resorts, popular for their eco-minded mentality toward hospitality, has just launched a new company-wide campaign called “Read & Reuse” – designed by the brand’s “Green Teams” to address the thousands of pounds of books travelers leave at hotels and resorts each year by collecting books to be donated to local libraries, schools and non-profits
  2. Top Green Cities in the World: What are the top green cities in the world? There are plenty of others in the publishing and green world who have created scientifically calculated (and not so scientifically calculated) lists of top green cities.
  3. 6 Fun, Green Outdoor Activities:   Remember when you were young and played outside all day long?  I do. I used to come home from school and put on my roller skates and I would not come back until dinner time and then after dinner I would go out again. If I wasn’t roller skating I was riding my bike. I had an ugly old bike with a banana seat and curved handlebars but I loved that thing. Many children don’t do that anymore and they are missing out.  Not just on exercise and fresh air but a true appreciation for being outisde.
  4. Cell Phones Made of Waste Wood?  There is just something about a wood case that gives electronics an heirloom feeling. Perhaps if cell phones were a bit warmer, a little heavier, a little earthier, people might keep them longer than the average 18 months before upgrading again.
  5. Would you buy an electric, hybrid vehicle?  I am anxiously awaiting the development of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Apparently, I am not alone. According to the “Electric Vehicle Consumer Survey” conducted by Pike Research, 48 percent of consumers said they are “’extremely’ or ‘very’ interested in purchasing a PHEV with a 40-mile range on a single charge”.
  6. We Don’t Need A Green Everything:  Not everything needs, or should, be labeled or branded as being “green”. Have you guys noticed how every company on the face of the earth is starting to label their product, no matter what it is, as “green”? I have – and one that stands out as of late is an “Eco-Friendly Paintless Auto Dent Repair” business. Really?
