When we checked in at the Lake Lodge at Yellowstone on July 15, 2017, for our
cabin, we were asked about a new program that Yellowstone is trying. It is called “A Soft Footprint.” Basically, for guests who were staying
multiple days, as were we, we were asked if we wanted maid service every day,
or in our case, not at all, since we were only staying 4 days. We opted for not at all. Given what had
happened at the Riverton Super 8, this
actually felt comforting. I hate for a
stranger to go through my stuff. So, we will reused towels, and took out
our own trash, and madeg our own beds.
Some of it will help with the ecological footprint of the
Lodge, but I think much of it will also help with labor costs.
On the other hand, in our cabin was the following quiz:
Is Yellowstone National Park home to more Bison or more
guest towels?
Towels. Yellowstone
stocks 24,237 guest towels and about 4,900 Bison live in the park.
The editorial comment is:
“At least we don’t have to wash the Bison.”
Makes you think of the impact of doing laundry, especially linens and towels, at Yellowstone.
