While traveling to the Hampton Inn hotels in Upstate New York to see the electric
vehicle chargers located around Albany. Also they are in Schenectady and Clifton
Park areas.

In addition, I was informed by one of the hotel managers that all Hampton Inn Hotels(
owned by Hilton) are using [Enviroware](https://web.archive.org/web/20170925095242/http://enviroware.us.com/)
products.

In addition, Enviroware products that are “manufactured from natural non-wood fibres
such as bamboo, sugar cane and reed, which are a renewable and sustainable resource.
This range is strong, rigid and fully compostable.”

So let’s go beyond the slogans for a minute and really see what this means in saving
[trees](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/05/trugreen-partners-with-arbor-day-foundation-to-distribute-free-trees-to-communities-in-need/)
because that is what the Green Living Guy does.

### Here are some basic common factors that can help determine what they are really doing.

 1. According to the [EPA](https://web.archive.org/web/20150402223540/http://www.epa.gov/waste/conserve/foodwaste/docs/reducing_wasted_food_pkg_tool.pdf),
    the packaging and containers used in the food service industry account for a significant
    portion (23 percent) of the municipal solid waste stream in the United States. 
    That’s equal to about 39 million tons per year.
 2. A single ton of waste reduced equals 14 trees.
 3. The DoubleTree hotels save about 25 Million tons of emissions estimated by using
    these Enviroware type products. Those hotels are only about 680 plus hotels.
 4. The Hampton Inn hotels has over 2,000 hotels which is over three times more of 
    an impact.

Ok, enough with the stats. If we save a [conservative](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/05/framing-discourse-around-conservative-values-shifts-climate-change-attitudes/)
average of 17 trees according to the University of Colorado per one single ton of
emissions saved.

So here and in conclusion we go now. That’s because 75 Million tons of emissions
are saved by the Hampton Inn hotels alone. Bam!

So the [EPA estimates](https://www.epa.gov/energy#results) that it is equal to planting
or saving (take your pick) over 1.75 Billion (yes with a B) of trees in 10 years
by using Enviroware products!

So when a company says they are going to do something, look beyond their numbers.
Then look to see what they really are doing! They are phenomenal results.
