This is the final part of a three-part series that looks at green hotels — what that means , how it works and what consumers can do. In real life, you probably don’t launder your sheets every day, recklessly tear through individually wrapped snacks and toiletries, single-handedly consume a 12-pack of bottled water or let the shower run for 30 minutes. But forgoing real life in favor of indulgence and escapism is often considered acceptable — or even expected — on vacation. This goes far beyond not replacing your towels and linens every day, which has become largely ubiquitous. “At home, we don’t all wash our sheets every day,” Ave Bradley, Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group’s creative director and global senior vice president of design, said by phone. “So when you think about it, if people are staying with us for 2 1/2 nights on average, obviously there’s no reason to change the linens.” Today’s hotels are finding creative new ways to softly coax guests into becoming greener by be...

Bill and Louri Larash's decision to downsize a little more than a year ago was not a rash one – but it happened quickly. The couple, who married Aug. 11, 1984, raised their two daughters in a four bedroom home on Plum Creek in the Arden on the Severn community of Crownsville. It was encircled with lush gardens of Louri's design.　 Their daughter Danielle, an architect, married Mike Peters . Cosette, now 25, spent a year on a tropical island and was moving back home . She missed four seasons. "We used to keep our powerboat and Captain Two , our sailboat, at a pier in Eastport," said Louri, explaining her familiarity with the waterfront areas around Annapolis. "We didn't need a big house anymore ." Bill is a partner with West Street-based accounting firm Novotny Larash & Venters PA.　 Louri, a horticulturalist and landscape designer, owns L&M Residential Services. A Crofton native, Louri met Bill , who grew up in College Park, at their college: Unive...

By Alison Smith-Squire The cot was lined with cuddly toys, the bedroom curtains pulled half -way to allow the gentlest of rays to spill pools of sunlight on the carpet. Now and then, a smattering of squally summer rain hit the window - the only sound to interrupt the silence within. Inside the cot lay a beautiful baby boy . Dressed in a pastel-blue sleepsuit, his hair combed and his chubby face bath -time fresh, this was Charlie Gard, finally at home, where his parents, Connie and Chris, fought so hard for him to be. Advertisement Of course, this represents no victory for anyone. Charlie, who had passed away days earlier, was lying in a specially chilled "cuddle cot", allowing his family to spend more time with him before he was taken to a funeral parlour. The little boy actually took his last breath at 3.12 pm last Friday. A private moment with only his parents at his side. His respirator was withdrawn and he slipped away 12 minutes later. A quiet end to a l...
