A keystone example to us all

Recently the Bowood House Hotel (did I get that name right?) was knocked down and is now being rebuilt. Prior to the closure a clearance notice was put up to help dispose of goods. I wonder how successful that was, and how much concern there was for the environment. Without any knowledge I am not going to cast aspersions in any direction. What I will say however is that those with a concern for the environment can achieve a lot. Take the Inn at Keystone which has become a model for recycling in the hotel business. Even the beds are either sold or given on to employees, other even disassembled into metal and other materials suitable for recycling and then sent on to suitable recycling places. There is a message here, I hope that local businesses pick it up.
