| ECO2Living
and ECO2Travelling are schemes designed to compensate
for the impact individuals and companies have on the environment by
their burning of fossil fuels. It aims to raise awareness of the carbon
footprint of each and every activity that generates greenhouse gas
emissions. |
| IPCC
guidelines are used to measure the amount of CO2
released by our vehicles' consumption of diesel fuels and our cottage
guests' consumption of gas and electricity to give a calculable environmental
impact of Destination Cambridge. By working with Itzama, we offset
this impact by purchasing certificates of emission reduction generated
by projects for renewable energy sources. Each certificate offsets
a proportion of this impact. Green
electricity generated by such projects replaces electricity otherwise
generated by coal-fired power plants thereby reducing greenhouse gas
emissions.
|
| We
urge all of our guests to consider the environment during their stays
at our cottages not only by considering the CO2
emissions they are creating but by encouraging guests to embrace Cambridge
City Council's efforts to increase recycling of waste materials and
to conserve water. We also devote much time to the upkeep of the cottage
gardens to maintain their beauty but also to ensure a rich habitat
for the garden wildlife that is so abundant in the city. |
| We
offer you an environmental footprint-free stay! |
