At Aberfeldy Cottages we care about people, our quality and the environment so when you stay at Aberfeldy Cottages you can rest assured that you will not only receive the very best of customer service but that your holiday will have the smallest carbon footprint possible.
At Aberfeldy Cottages we are conscious of our surroundings and realise the impact we all can create on our environment. We buy locally and have a recycling policy whereby waste is kept to a minimum and recyclable materials are sorted and collected by the appropriate centres and charities i.e. glass, plastic, paper, ink cartages, etc. reflecting the importance we place on preserving our unspoilt environment for visitors today and in the future.
Individually and we can minimise our impact on the Scottish countryside if we all give just a little more thought as to how, on a local scale, we can help, which collectively can make a great deal of difference at a global level.
We can start by thinking about:
- Leaving the car behind, whenever possible and walking, cycling or using public transport
- Turning down central heating a degree or two and switching off lights in empty rooms
- Boiling just enough water for what you need rather than filling the kettle every time
- Buying only what you need, preferably locally-sourced
- Re-using plastic carrier bags
- Recycling glass, tin cans and paper where possible by using the containers provided at the cottages
- Showering more and bathing less
- Turning taps off when not in use
These are all small, simple changes we can make in our daily lives. But if enough of us make them, we can make a big difference.
