Les Chaumieres Campagnardes goes Carbon Neutral

You've done what ?!!!

We appreciate that our clients travel from a long way away by use of car, ferry or plane.

In these days of being emission conscious , this is not very 'green'.

So, to ease the  effect on the environment we have entered into a tree planting project in the forest at the

rear of our property.

 

  •  In 2007 we purchased a quantity of conifer, chestnut and oak trees to help combat the

large amount of pollutants created whilst traveling to and from our location.

 

  •  We harvest a large proportion of the rain water either into our well or direct into the fishing etang

 for use on the garden or to refill the swimming pool. The washing and drinking water is still connect to

 the mains supply.

 

  •  We collect all plastic bottle tops and return them to the supplier for re-use.

 

  •  Also added for the 2008 season is a compost heap made from reclaimed oak from a local

wood yard. 

 

  •  Locally, Chateaubriant commune had promised to provide 40% of all electric used in the area via wind

 turbines by 2010. They achieved this target by mid 2007.

 

We are constantly looking for ways to lessen our effect on the environment. If you have any

ideas please contact us.
