About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Green hotels

Looking to continue conservatism while on vacation ? Besides the eco-friendly tours being offered, it is now also possible to find eco-hotels in urban landscapes that do more than bed bath and beyond of towel and sheet replacement (or not if you are conserving water).

The greening of the hotel industry addresses questions of renewable energy sources, conserving energy and water, avoiding the use of harsh chemicals, donating things, and supporting local causes and community conservation efforts. Good article on the subject in the New York Times here.

And if you are trying to identify a green hotel or check its rating go to environmentallyfriendlyhotels.com - the site lists 2800 hotels with comments.
