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. When 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. When 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’re glad we don’t have to pay. A step towards eco-friendly holiday destinations is a step in the right direction. Casal 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.
