6 Most Eco-Friendly Casinos in the World
Offline casinos usually have nothing to do with sustainability but to your surprise that are a few casinos for which the approach has turned altogether different. With all the lights on all 24/7 and the fast-food joints, they don’t think of eco-friendliness but a few are taking the accountability to work and act on reducing carbon footprint.
In whichever way they could, they are finding ways to recycle and reuse! Here are the top 6 eco-friendly casinos across the globe.
