Road Trip: Greener Maryland

Posted by Rebecca Carter on Jul 14, 2006 in Travel | 0 comments

I recently traveled to Maryland, and was hit by "green" every time I turned around.

P7070089Recycling bins all over the airport. Image that. (Too high tech for Miami?)

A "green" message in the hotel bathroom. One of these, help us reduce water, energy, and detergent usage by reusing your towels. The sad news? They didn’t deliver. New towels placed in the room in the evening. How disappointing. More on this in the future.

P7070092Lots of hybrids! This one even has a special license plate: EZONAIR.

Green cover stories on many magazines in the newsstand!

CrabbyChildren’s nature books for sale in the airport. Suzanne Tate’s series focuses mostly on water and the creatures living in it. Crabby’s Water Wish hopes to improve water quality. Mary Manatee teaches the kids all about these sea cows. 28 books in all.

P7070090All of the rental car companies are located in a central hub, which shares a shuttle bus for passengers to the center (fewer shuttles necessary). Written on the top of the bus: Powered by Clean Natural Gas.

Thanks for showing me your green side, Maryland!
