Using Eco Friendly cleaning materials in our cottages and supplying eco-friendly washing up liquid.&lt;br /&gt;2. Providing newspaper recycling facilities at &lt;a href="http://www.sandcastle-cottage.co.uk"&gt;Sandcastle Cottage&lt;/a&gt;, and we will recycle newspapers at &lt;a href="http://www.2edinburgh.co.uk"&gt;Craigwell Cottage&lt;/a&gt; if guests separate them from their other waste and store them for our collection.&lt;br /&gt;3. Composting garden waste at &lt;a href="http://www.sandcastle-cottage.co.uk"&gt;Sandcastle Cottage&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.2edinburgh.co.uk"&gt;Craigwell Cottage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;4. Providing information for guests to enable them to use public transport facilities to reach our properties.&lt;br /&gt;5. Replacing light bulbs with low energy bulbs when they need to be renewed.&lt;br /&gt;6. Encouraging guests to switch off electrical appliances and not leave on standby.&lt;br /&gt;7. Purchasing energy efficient white goods.&lt;br /&gt;8. Using e-mail as much as possible for company correspondence to cut down on paper.  &lt;br /&gt;9. We minimise our use of print advertising, and no longer produce brochures about the cottages.&lt;br /&gt;10. Providing on-line booking facilities for guests to cut down on paper.&lt;br /&gt;11. Supporting local tradesmen for all our repairs and maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;12. Providing showers for guests which use less water than baths.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/930495070251761395-3160627033686304115?l=sandcastle-environmental.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sandcastle-environmental.blogspot.com/feeds/3160627033686304115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=930495070251761395&amp;postID=3160627033686304115' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/930495070251761395/posts/default/3160627033686304115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/930495070251761395/posts/default/3160627033686304115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandcastle-environmental.blogspot.com/2007/10/green-policy-for-sandcastle-holidays.html' title='Green Policy for Sandcastle Holidays'/><author><name>sandcastle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08253953575622558676</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tAhqMtkftSg/SsIJh8NLGfI/AAAAAAAAEAI/H-ruFu7TAPo/S220/sandcastlelogobg.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
