The Flora Glen Guest House is committed to reducing our environmental impact. In order to achieve this we will endeavour to:
- Comply with the relevant legislation and codes of practice.
- Constantly monitor and evaluate our consumption of resources, there by reducing our pollution and energy consumption.
- Monitor and reduce our waste, recycling and reusing wherever possible.
- Use suppliers that are local, thus reducing cost of transportation. Also using suppliers with good environmental policies and sustainable business practices.
- Liasing with other local accommodation providers and businesses.
- Assess risks associated with this policy and minimise them.
How our guests could help:
- Reduce energy usage – turn off electrical equipment and lights including T.V left on stand by when not in use and remembering to unplug your mobile phone charger.
- Use public transport – we can provide information about local public transport, and as we are only a short level distance from the beach, town centre and local amenities it makes good sense for your pocket, the environment and your waistline to maybe have a stroll into town.
- Shop locally – Try local products of the area during your stay. Like the farmers market, and local craft fairs
- Recycle – We encourage our guest to help us in our recycling efforts by keeping recyclables separated from normal waste.
- Conserve water – ensure taps and showers are turned off fully when not in use. Please note our linen and towel policy, available in the information folder in the bedroom.
- Support Green Tourism Businesses – There are hundreds of businesses trying to reduce their impact on the environment.
- By using country codes and practices when out and about.
- Use of our secured Wifi Internet connection is free but a small donation in the charity box of our choice, which is situated in the dining room would be greatly appreciated.
- If you have any questions, comments, tips or ideas to help us with our commitment to run a greener guest House then please do not hesitate to let us know.
