June 20 2024Welcome to our blog! If you're looking for a comfortable stay in the heart of the beautiful Périgord, in Sarlat La Canéda, while minimizing your environmental impact, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we will explore how we strive to reduce the ecological impact of your stay at the Sarlovèze apartment - Stay in Sarlat, and why adopting a more environmentally friendly approach can transform your vacation into a rewarding and sustainable experience.
Goals of Our Eco-Friendly Approach
1. Adopt Eco-Friendly Practices:
As tenants, you can play a key role in preserving our natural resources. We encourage you to save water by taking shorter showers and using taps sparingly. Every little action counts, especially when it comes to preserving our resources for future generations.
2. Influence Future Tenants:
Your commitment to adopting sustainable behaviors can inspire future tenants to do the same. Imagine the difference we can make together for the environment by spreading these good practices. It’s like planting seeds of ecological awareness in every mind that stays in our apartment.
3. Gather Ideas and Improvements:
We are open to your suggestions and feedback to continue improving our environmental impact. Every piece of advice is valuable and can help us refine our eco-friendly approach. Together, we can do better.
Environmental and Social Issues
1. Good for the Planet:
Choosing eco-friendly practices is not only beneficial for the environment, it’s also a way to contribute to the fight against climate change. Reducing our ecological footprint is like giving a gift to the planet, a sustainable present that will benefit everyone, including our children.
2. Preserve Tenant Health:
Using ecological and non-toxic cleaning products is essential for your well-being. These products, often certified by labels such as the European Ecolabel, ensure not only impeccable cleanliness but also a healthy environment without harmful chemicals for your health.
3. Preserve Worker Health:
Our cleaning teams and artisans who work on our rental also benefit from these practices. By using non-toxic products, we ensure their work environment is safe and risk-free for their health.
4. Encourage the Local Economy:
By promoting local products and supporting artisans from the Périgord, we contribute to a stronger and more resilient local economy. It’s a way to give back to the community what it offers us while reducing our carbon footprint through short supply chains.
Solutions and Best Practices
1. Cleanliness and Authenticity:
We make no compromises on the cleanliness of our apartment. The cleaning products we use, while environmentally friendly, are highly effective. They are certified by the European Ecolabel, ensuring a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle without sacrificing quality.
2. Eco-Friendly Hygiene Products:
We provide biodegradable hygiene products, such as solid soaps and plastic-free bathroom kits. This allows you to take care of yourself while respecting the planet. It’s like every little action is a gentle touch for nature.
3. Energy Efficiency:
Our apartment is equipped with low-consumption LED bulbs and smart systems to optimize electricity usage. We have also installed a low-consumption heating system with a heat pump, offering optimal thermal comfort while reducing our energy footprint.
4. Water Management:
To save water, we have installed an ingenious water recovery system with a hand wash basin integrated into the toilet. This device reuses the sink water for the toilet flush, resulting in significant water savings. Imagine it like a small river endlessly cycling through.
5. Sustainable Mobility:
Thanks to our central location in Sarlat, you can easily explore the town on foot or by bike. We strongly encourage this soft mobility, which not only reduces the carbon footprint of your travels but also allows you to discover Sarlat in a more authentic and immersive way.
6. Recycling:
We provide recycling bins to help you properly recycle your waste. Recycling is a simple but crucial step to reducing the environmental impact of waste. It’s like every act of sorting is a contribution to a cleaner future.
7. Support for Local Craftsmanship:
Our bedding, sheets, and towels are French-made and come from short supply chains. By choosing local products, we support the regional economy and reduce our ecological impact. It’s a way to offer you an authentic experience while respecting our commitment to sustainability.
8. Promotion of Local Products:
We encourage you to visit local markets and buy regional products. These products are not only delicious but also more environmentally friendly, as they require less transportation and support the local economy.
Nuances of Our Ecological Commitment
Although we are determined to minimize our environmental impact, we recognize that our approach is not perfect. We do not claim to be perfect but strive to make more sustainable choices continually. For example, finding ecological alternatives for some products or services can be challenging without compromising the comfort of our guests. Additionally, some solutions, like installing solar panels or more advanced water recovery systems, cannot be implemented on historic buildings like ours.
We firmly believe that every little action counts, and we are committed to continually learning and evolving to reduce our ecological footprint while providing a pleasant experience for our tenants. We invite you to join us on this journey towards a more responsible rental while being aware of the challenges and limitations we face.
