How dare you say Warmists/Progressives want to control your behavior!
(Washington Free Beacon) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants hotels to monitor how much time its guests spend in the shower.
The agency is spending $15,000 to create a wireless system that will track how much water a hotel guest uses to get them to “modify their behavior.â€
“Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,†an EPA grant to the University of Tulsa reads. “Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.â€
The funding is going toward creating a prototype and market analysis for the device. The goal of the project is to change the behavior of Americans when they stay at hotels.
“This technology will provide hotel guests with the ability to monitor their daily water online or using a smartphone app and will assist hotel guest in modifying their behavior to help conserve water,†the grant said.
This is all about “sustainability”, code-word for “climate change”.
This begs the question, should Warmists actually stay at hotels? If they’re staying at one, it means they are traveling, which means the use of fossil fuels, which are Bad for Hotcoldwetdry, and hotels are notorious as energy wasters.
