On 11 January 2009 Hurriyet Daily News reported: In preparation for a 2010 influx of tourists and amid concerns for the environment, Istanbul plans environmentally friendly hotels. The country has launched the 'green hotels' project, which aims to show hotels how to implement environmentally friendly strategies. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of business, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

The project is collaboration among Bureau Veritas, the Turkish Environmentally Friendly Forum, and the Turkish Hotels and Investors Association.

Speaking to hotel representatives at the green hotels project, Bureau Veritas representative, Gülcin Gökbulut, said, 'Among our guests for 2010 there will be many looking for 'green hotels' that save water, energy and reduce solid waste; more and more people are prioritizing the environment over luxury.'

Environment-supporting foundations and hotel management agencies discussed various aspects of the project. They also looked at measures that are already in place in Istanbul hotels to make them environmentally friendly.

According to the Hurriyet Daily News, 'These include customer signs encouraging recycling towels and sheets instead of changing them everyday, deactivating heating and cooling devices when windows or doors are open and the room is unoccupied, water-saving devices fitted into showers, toilets and basins and environmentally friendly cleaning products to be used throughout the hotel.'

Every day Global Good News documents the rise of a better quality of life dawning in the world and highlights the need for introducing Natural Law based—Total Knowledge based—programmes to bring the support of Nature to every individual, raise the quality of life of every society, and create a lasting state of world peace.
