Sit back, relax and have all your eco-needs taken care of – this is Apex Hotels’ http://www.apexhotels.co.uk claim to their guests. The hotel chain has won all kinds of awards for its environmentally considerate philosophy. Not only do they design all their hotels with an eco-conscious architect, use only eco-friendly chemicals throughout, strive to reduce energy consumption, they will even work out your carbon footprint during your stay and charge it to your hotel bill. My first thought was that carbon will now be among the things you have to argue that you didn’t use, along with the mini-bar, excessive phone bills and premium rate TV channels. But the reality is that Apex work with Climate Care http://www.climatecare.org/ and every penny goes to carbon offsetting schemes around the world. There are currently three Apex hotels – in London, Edinburgh and Dundee.
