James Bond & Green Hotels

Could Green Lodging News have been the inspiration? I don't think so, but it is exciting to see that a green hotel will appear in an upcoming film. In the latest James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, due out November 7, Bond duels it out with a character named Dominic Greene. The setting is the fictional Greene Planet Hotel in Bolivia. In real life the building is a retreat for astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile's Atacama Desert. Thanks go out to Sierra magazine for alerting me to this green hotel news.
