Eco-Friendly Lodging
At Casterbridge Planet Earth our mission is to always use accommodations that are eco-friendly. This means hotels, resorts, or lodges that engage in a genuine effort to make as little impact on the local environment as possible. This should be both in its physical location and by its actions.
Practices by Eco-Friendly Accommodations Include:
- Laundry reduction practices
- Non-chemical cleaning agents
- Installation of low-energy appliances and light bulbs
- Use of local products and businesses
- Local staff, paid decent wages
- Recycling
- Installation of low-flow shower heads and toilets
- Use of renewable energy, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric
- Planting of native plants adapted to the local climate and rainfall levels
- Reuse of waste-water and rainwater where possible
Finding Eco-Friendly Lodging for Planet Earth Groups
Our operations team at Casterbridge Planet Earth is dedicated to securing properties that are considered to be eco-friendly. We have an extensive list of contacts throughout all of our worldwide destinations.
When you are working with a Planet Earth Tour Coordinator you will want to discuss the level of accommodations your group will require on your group tour.
After time of booking, and once your accommodations are fully secured, our operations team will be pleased to inform you of the properties secured for your review. This will include (in most instances) a list of the eco-friendly measures employed by each of your accommodations.
