Going Green<\/strong><\/p>The argument over whether \u201cgoing green\u201d is a priority for us. It is a priority for a number of reasons, including customer loyalty, cost savings, and most importantly, environmental impact.<\/p>
We at Carradales are genuinely playing a part in saving the environment, and here are some of the ways are doing it. We will be further adding to this is in the future.<\/p>
Energy Saving Technologies<\/strong><\/p>About 75% of hotel\u2019s environmental impacts are directly related to excessive consumption\u2014including energy consumption.\u00a0All our appliances are energy-efficient including our water boiler. Our light bulbs are also LED. Where possible, all our linens are dried naturally in the wind.<\/p>
\u00a0Embrace Recycling<\/strong><\/p>Another huge impact the hospitality industry has on the environment is due to the amount of waste hotels create.<\/p>
We use cloth napkins instead of paper and donate old sheets to the local school where they can be used creatively.<\/p>
Encourage Guests to be Green<\/strong><\/p>When pointing out the facilities of a guest\u2019s room on arrival we make guests aware that we are striving to become green. We remind guests to turn out the lights when they leave, or reuse towels if possible and that there is a recycling bin readily available to guests. We make guests aware of where they can rent a bicycle nearby. There is also a fantastic bus service which makes for great sightseeing.<\/p>
Composting\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>Our gardener takes our food waste rather than throwing it out gardens that he services in the area for landscaping and organic fertiliser.<\/p>
Save Water<\/strong><\/p>We have installed water saving toilets, smart showers restricting the flow of water but not the quality or satisfaction of the shower experience. We encourage our guests to use the flush sparingly where appropriate. There are reusable water bottles with fresh water in all guest rooms.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
