Memphis-based Cooper Hotels cranks up solar power

Memphis-based Cooper Hotels is installing solar power technology to provide hot water at two of its Tennessee properties, according to a story today in Hotels, a hospitality industry publication.

The Hilton Knoxville Airport and the Doubletree Hotel Oak Ridge are the first two hotels in Tennessee to use solar power systems, which Cooper President and CEO Pace Cooper boasts will pay for themselves in cost savings in a short time (Obviously, hotels use a ton of hot water for showering and laundry.).

The article says that Cooper Hotels plans to move forward aggressively with environmental sustainability programs at all 10 of its Tennessee properties, which include the Doubletree East Memphis.

I have been following this blog and I like the writing. Bangkok has some of the best cuisine in the world. All other food seems to be bland in comparison to Thai food. I sure miss Thailand.

I might be a Farang, but I feel I have a Thai spirit. Sanook and Mai ben lai is my belief. These views will take us through adversity with poise.

did they achieved what they had planned back in 2009? because i haven't seen it in the news since then
