Seven things you can do to help save the planet
We at the Belmore Court & Motel are working hard to become a more eco-friendly business, but we need your help. We can all reduce our impact on the environment by making choices. As a visitor you have a very important role to play in helping us try to conserve Fermanagh’s natural assets and become a more sustainable destination.
Here are some ideas on how you can help:
1. Conserve Energy – reduce energy by switching off lights and closing windows if heating is on. The Energy Saving Trust provides information on what you can do at home. www.est.org.uk
2. Give the car a rest – Leave the car behind, if only for a day. Walk, cycle or use public transport. Our staff will happily provide you with advice.www.traveline.org.uk
3. Shop Local – Use local products, they give you a flavour of the area and help support local communities. We are fortunate enough to have some fantastic producers of food, drink and arts and crafts. Ask about local markets or local and regional produce.
4. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Try to avoid overly packaged goods and say no to that extra carrier bag. You can also support us in our efforts to recycle – please ask staff for more details. www.recyclenow.com
5. Be Water Wise – Turn of the tap when brushing you teeth and adhere to towel policies or other water saving initiatives.
6. Respect Nature – Help us to look after the landscape and wildlife by not littering, guarding against fire and using footpaths and cycle-ways responsibly. Ensure you follow the Countryside Code. www.countrysideaccess.gov.uk
7. Support Green businesses – There are hundreds of businesses in the province trying to reduce their carbon footprints through the Green Tourism Business Scheme. Businesses are awarded Bronze, Silver and Gold for their efforts to be more sustainable. www.green-business.co.uk.
And most importantly have a great time when you are here,
We’d like you to come back!
And finally, if you feel there is anything else we could be doing to reduce our
environmental impact, please let us know.
