Keys open doors ... unless they're sustainable
The Democrats have gone to great lengths to make this convention ecologically sound. This is my room key. It is light like balsa wood. It is made from sustainable products. It is environmentally sound.
It is not, however, any more useful than a credit card or a stale stick of gum when it comes to opening hotel room doors.
I've entered my room using this keycard roughly eight times. Most tries before a successful door opening? Nine. Least tries? One. Which happened once. Then I bought a lottery ticket. If I don't win, I'm going to use the ticket to try to open the door to my hotel.
Want to really make the convention green? Just give me a tent next time, or a lean-to made of twigs. It's cheap, it doesn't use as much water or power as a hotel, and you can get inside.
Apparently I'm not the only one that's having these troubles. The Sheraton is now handing out a traditional plastic card as well, suggesting guests use the other one as a souvenir. A green souvenir.
