Eco-Friendly Holiday Destinations
In this Episode of Sustainability Champions, I speak with Bob Garner, Co-Owner of Casal dei Fichi and Champion of Sustainable Holidays.\nWhen we take a vacation, we oftentime enjoy luxuries beyond imagination in destinations around the world, whether artificial beaches and 5-star hotels in Dubai, enormous resorts in Mexico, or cruises that travel around the world. \nWhen we get our well-deserved breaks from everyday life, we tend to ignore how wasteful and carbon-inefficient travelling can be. Air conditioning every step you take, lunch-buffets that end up wasting food, and electrical bills we\u2019re glad we don\u2019t have to pay. A step towards eco-friendly holiday destinations is a step in the right direction. \n\n\nCasal dei Fichi is a farmhouse with holiday apartments, built and renovated with sustainability in mind such as solar panels, replacing air conditioning with smart window-placement and architecture, long-lasting, efficient LED lights with movement sensors and much more. They even installed a charging station for electric cars to encourage greener transportation. To further their sustainable mission even more, they also have an offset-program with local restaurants, which plants trees when you eat at their partner restaurants. \n\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please give the Sustainability Champions podcast a 5-star review in the Apple Podcast app and subscribe so you\u2019ll know when the next episode is released!\n\n\nResources:\nWebsite: https://www.casaldeifichi.com (https://www.casaldeifichi.com)\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casaldeifichi (https://www.facebook.com/Casaldeifichi)\n\n\n--\nHosted by Daniel Hartz\nSustainability Champions\nhttps://www.sustainabilitychampions.com\nInstagram: @SustainabilityChampions\nFacebook: @SustainabilityChampions\nLinkedIn: @Sustainability Champions
