Most businesses purchase goods and services based on quality, cost and consumer demand. Apparently this is simply not good enough as environmental and social issues also need to be considered.
It has been reported that UK government advisers, The Committee on Climate Change wants the public to change their lifestyles including diets that is claimed to be a crucial element in cutting carbon emissions.
What does this mean for moteliers?
A staple cornerstone for breakfasts offered at motels is bacon - it's good news here, as pork apparently generates fewer carbon emissions than “high carbon” food such as sheep and beef, whose gaseous emissions pose a "serious threat to the environment."
Greenhouse tomatoes are another staple favorite for motel breakfasts, however not so good news here. These are regarded as the devil's own spawn as they are the most “carbon-intensive" of all vegetables. These should be banned forthwith!
Forget about offering alcoholic beverages in motel mini bars. Apparently alcoholic drinks are another significant contributory factor, with the growing and processing of crops such as hops and malt into beer and whiskey helping to generate copious quantities of greenhouse gases.
There were no announcement from UK's Committee on Climate Change on the carbon emissions generated by motels providing individually wrapped biscuits, however something tells us there will be a recommendation out soon.
