From a production perspective, paper products require more resources (water, energy) to produce than their equivalent plastic products. Whereas plastic product do worse at landfill sites. eg. paper bags vs plastic bags. </p> <p>I think an alternative solution is to keep the plastic keys (remember, switching to paper keys requires throwing out perfectly good plastic keys) and charging a $10 deposit which is returned when the keys are returned upon checkout. Reusing plastic keys is far greener than throwing away paper keys...or in your case going through 4 of them!</p> I agree with your sentiments Marsha.

How about when the key gets bent after putting it in the lock?? Doesn't work. We went back to the Inn for key replacements 4 times and yes, Chuck's key was destroyed in our kayaking trip..If you have a plastic key at home I'm for recycling it and just having them re-program it for our door...If you don't have that plastic key then I guess you are stuck with the not so sturdy greenkey...MJ</p> OH!
