Wealthy individuals and accredited investors often take up the mantle of infusing capital into eco-ventures because they have the money to do so. But the “do-good” mindset has no income bracket, and average consumers do care about the environmental and social justice issues that have increasing salience with the global community.

在酒店业，海航旅业也积极贯彻绿色发展理念。旗下海航酒店集团与国际废品回收专家泰瑞环保(TerraCycle)合作，启动了“零废之旅”项目，对酒店产生的塑料废品进行回收。废弃物在经过分类、消毒、切割和融化后，通过最新的环保技术，被做新的塑料颗粒，可用于生产新的户外塑料用品。海航酒店集团是泰瑞环保在国内酒店行业的第一个合作伙伴，而“零废之旅”的启动则是海航酒店集团深化可持续发展理念、践行“坚持节约资源和保护环境的基本国策”要求的最新动作。仅半年时间，就实现回收酒店塑料制品逾800公斤，相当于减少了约1200公斤的二氧化碳排放量、节省了约1256千瓦时的电力。“零废之旅”项目因此获得年度最佳生态文明奖。
