According to a hospitality expert, customers don’t want to pay more for sustainability.
“Only ‘sustainable hardcore’ customers are currently willing to pay more for eco-conscious hotels, according to Marco Lemmers, CEO of hotel company Conscious Hotels. Lemmers predicts that hotel guests will be prepared to pay more for sustainability in the future, but it will be “a few years from now.” I think people will be willing to pay more for a sustainable solution’, he said Dezeen. ‘We haven’t gotten there yet, because the hotel business is still quite price sensitive. You have to be very sustainable to want to pay an extra 10 euros for a sustainable stay. But it’s slowly moving in that direction.’” [H/T Dezeen]

Patagonia sues Gap for allegedly copying the torn flap pocket on its outerwear.
“Patagonia, the high-end outdoor clothing retailer, filed a lawsuit accusing Gap of copying the snap-flap pocket it has used on wool outerwear for three decades. In a complaint filed in federal court in San Francisco, Patagonia said Gap is knowingly and knowingly selling fleece jackets that imitate its flap pocket and rectangular “P-6” logo without permission. Patagonia said Gap’s actions undermined its goodwill and were intended to mislead shoppers into thinking it made the jackets or let the retailer use its trademarks.
