Kudos to Marriott, this is really nice to hear. It's my understanding that when it comes to social responsibility, Marriott is leading the charge- whether it's issues of human rights, sustainability, or animal welfare. For example,Marriott is using cage-free eggs in their restaurants, which is great for the environment and the animals. Keep up the good work!
