Last year, Marriott announced its environmental strategy to address
climate change, which it calls its “Spirit To Preserve.” The plan calls
for greening its $10 billion supply chain; further reducing fuel and
water consumption by 25 percent per available room; creating green
construction standards for hotel developers to achieve LEED
certification from the U.S. Green Building Council; educating and
inspiring employees and guests to support the environment; and helping
protect the rainforest.<br />
