(CNN) — Dan Condon believes in recycling. Just not when it comes to his hotel towels.

Condon composts when he’s at home in Boulder, Colorado. He eats local, organic and fair-trade food and drives a Honda CR-Z hybrid sports car.

“I could care less about rewards for environmentally conscious behavior unless it’s miles,” Condon wrote in an e-mail.
