Reducing Carbon Footprint
Arran has a fantastic sustainability drive & we have participated in Carbon Literacy Training to ensure our carbon footprint is as low as it can be. That is why at Balmichael Glamping:
- We only use environmentally friendly cleaning products
- We provide your washing-up liquids and surface cleaners in refillable bottles
- Refillable Arran Aromatics hand-wash supports local business
- We purchase our biscuits, oaties, cheese, chutneys and ice cream from local businesses
- Wood for fires has been sourced locally
- We have composting toilets and provide biodegradable loo roll which comes with no-waste packaging
- Solar panels help produce electricity for direct use
Green Mission
We are very keen to raise awareness of environmental impact and you'll find some notices and information on site asking you to assist us on our GREEN MISSION:
- Please tidy away all litter, making full use of our recycling facilities
- Do not bring disposable plastic cutlery or paper plates (cutlery and plates are provided in all accommodations)
- Make use of provided BBQ fire pits rather than bringing disposable BBQs
If this break is a stay-cation for you, you have already greatly reduced your carbon footprint. By adventuring locally and supporting our island businesses (many of whom are making green choices in their produce too), you are contributing to our green ethos and sustainable island life. We are extremely grateful for your contribution to our site.
