Thanks for reviewing our blog post. It seems crazy that out of all our collection, there were only really a handful of hotels that were truly eco-friendly. Things are changing slowly!
Have only recently come across your site - I love the design. Congratulations!

One piece of reading that I enjyoed was Sloan Barnett's 'The Polllution Inside Your Own Body'
Our bodies can accumulate toxins from environmental factors, as well as from the things we eat (e.g. unlcean fruit and vegetables that aren't organic - antiobiotics fed chickens that produce unorganic eggs, etc). Detoxification is key to rid of this pollution!
