A flight to San Francisco may leave a sizeable carbon footprint, but
theres a hip hotel that can put you back in Mother Earths good graces.
In the burgeoning SoMa district, The
Good Hotel is light, bright and socially conscious.
Rooms feature reclaimed wood beds, chandeliers crafted from reused water
bottles, blankets made from recycled soda bottles and bookshelves for
"bookcrossing"the practice of leaving a book for a future guest to take.
Other cool touches include a Ready Made Magazine vending machine in the
lobby with repurposed goods inside, free loaner bicycles, and a retro
photo booth.
Doesnt sound good enough? During your stay pick-up the philanthropy
concierge phone that connects to One
Brick, a volunteer program, and at checkout, directly offset that
carbon footprint with a small donation to Carbonfund.org.
Green looks good on you.
From $109 a night, Good Hotel, 112 Seventh St., San Francisco,
415-621-7001, www.jdvhotels.com/hotels/good
