Bottles for Hotel

Trade in 10 plastic water bottles for a free night at Starwood's Element Hotel

You've probably seen the reusable eco-chic totes that proudly proclaim "I'm Not A Plastic Bag." Well starting today (April 5), now you can book the "I Am Not a Plastic Package" at participating Element Hotels -- in exchange for turning in 10 single-use plastic water bottles at check-in, you can get a free night at a Element property if you're one of the first 100 people to call 1-877-ELEMENT and mention the promo code GOGREEN.

The eco-friendly Starwood offshoot currently has locations in or just outside of Baltimore, Denver, Dallas, Houston, and Las Vegas (about 15 minutes from the Strip), as well as suburban areas such as Lexington, Mass. (about a 30-minute drive from Boston) and Ewing, N.J. (about 40 minutes from Philadelphia, 1.5 hours from Manhattan). Each extended-stay property has rooms with in-room kitchenettes, Energy Star-rated appliances, compact fluorescent light bulbs, and low-flow faucets -- and green amenities such as complimentary bike rentals and electric car charging stations.
