We have spent our first season getting the Barbican Base set up and adequately promoted, and ensuring we did everything we could so that our guests enjoyed their stay. Now over the coming months we will be looking hard at ways that Plymouth Holidays can reduce its impact on the environment; from small things like recycled toilet paper to big things like choosing green energy suppliers. Below are some of the ways that Plymouth Holidays is already helping the environment, as well as some of the things that we are looking at introducing over the coming months. Efficient Heating: Loft insulation is installed in the roof; double glazing is fitted throughout the property and an efficient, modern boiler is installed. The entire property's energy is supplied through electricity (and not gas). Efficient Appliances: New kitchen appliances were installed a few years ago, all with high energy ratings. If the apartment is vacant for any length of time then the fridge freezer is turned off. Green Energy Supply: Plymouth Holidays is currently in the process of reviewing its energy suppliers with the aim of switching across to electricity supplied from renewable energy sources. Use of Public Transport: We encourage guests to use environmentally friendly modes of transport. This now extends to offering a 10% discount on your booking if you travel to Plymouth by train, coach or ferry. There is a cycle rack on the premises and we will shortly be adding bus timetables to the information provided at the property. Recycling: Plymouth Council does not currently offer a recycling collection for the property. We hope to persuade them to rectify this situation soon but in the meantime we intend to introduce our own collection facility. A recycling box and details of what can be recycled will be provided in the property. Green Advice: We are currently putting together an information pack for the apartment. This will include tips on saving energy during your stay. The Little Things: We have already taken some steps to ensure the products we buy are environmentallysound but look to take this further over the coming months. This includes changes such as using energy efficient light bulbs, recycled toilet paper, ecologically friendly washing powders and so forth.
