For our purposes, we'll stick with the creamy, extra
water method (if you want to experiment with the other,
simply use much
less water).
At Element, each guest rooms contains low flow fixtures, which save 5,300 gallons of
water per room each year; compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), which last 10 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs and
use 75 percent
less energy; Energy Star rated appliances, recycling bins, and of course, signage that encourages guests to hang your towel if you want to
use it again or leave it on the floor if you don't, which is
simply common sense.
