The hostels in the US could make a huge impact by turning down their air conditioners, or turning them off. Americans are so used to aircon even an environmentalist staying in a hostel i was in thought it extreme to turn off the aircon, and it wasn’t really hot. The hostels will have a big job to change attitudes, but it would make a big difference if they can change behaviour on this issue. Good luck.
