Twelve Green Actions 2019
In 2017 Lochranza Campsite won a Gold Award for Green Tourism. Since then we have not rested on our green laurels! Here are some of our recent green actions:
- We have moved to a 100% green energy tariff
- We have changed 100% of our lighting to LED and will complete the remaining 50% at the end of season
- We have installed three green cone digesters so that food waste does not have to be transported by ferry to the mainland
- Staff members Alan and Carol have built and installed two red squirrel boxes around the campsite
- We are holding off mowing the campsite in May to benefit the bees and wildflowers
- We have added extra walks linked with bus times to our local information in Basecamp so that you can avoid using your vehicle
- We now use the ecosia.org internet search engine, which uses profits to plant trees worldwide
- We carry reusable coffee cups on our outings
- We continue to be volunteers for the Lochranza Loos community group which keeps the village’s public toilets open
- We use cleaning products that are ‘green’ accredited
- We support the Arran Trust, which protects the environment of Arran, and COAST, which protects the seas around the island.
