Also the rooms are gonna be $300/night which is insane by my standards but I guess makes sense for a luxury hotel.

Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and it’s better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.

So more Solar-burgoise than solar-punk huh?
This feels a bit like ticking the "offset my co2" box when booking a flight. I mean it's cool that they planted 70000 trees but that has nothing to do with the building itself really, although i guess the money for the trees does.
Indeed I kept looking for mention of “passive” architecture. I wonder if passive homes have caught on anywhere in the US.
Only bummer is they won’t have all-vegan restaurants.
Are they using farmed meat though? The article mentioned wild game which would be relatively sustainable assuming it’s not poached. It could be venison from overpopulated deer which could be a pest to the local veg farms.
