CNN has provided an excellent round up of the activities undertaken by the major hotel chains to save energy, reduce water use, recycle more, and be greener global citizens. We applaud all of these efforts.

Travel & Leisure magazine has compiled a list of top green hotels. While many of these are leisure rather than business properties, which would normally keep the list outside of the purview of Executive Nomad, we take our examples of sustainability where we can find them.

Do you factor environmentalism into your lodging choices (or travel in general)? If so, what kinds of certification means the most to your choice? Is being environmentally responsible simple “table stakes” for a hotel chain or can one achieve competitive advantage through sustainable practices?
