Hotels (part 1) - Towels

I send a lot of time in hotels; in fact more time than I spend in my own home. One thing that I can never understand is why most of them insist in providing fresh towels every day. Even those who advise that they only change towels left in the bath often replace them anyway. Why? Who uses fresh towels everyday in their own home?

Not only is a a waste of energy, water and detergent, there's the transport to and from the hotel too; very environmentally unfriendly. This government loves to pass new laws and with the current environmental media frenzy you'd think that they would have legislated on this by now. How about making it illegal to replace towels more than once a week unless the guest specifically requests them? Might be the most useful new law to be passed all year...
