# Sustainability / Fauna & Flora

 
#### our initiatives

   
##### Water:

 
• Our irrigation system comes from two private springs. Water waste is zero, all water that is not used is later used by the local population for the same purpose.

 
• Our irrigation system is only activated at times of lower heat in order to have a greater use of water

   
##### Energy:

 
• We use solar panels to heat water and light

 
• Equipment with high energy efficiency

 
• Lighting with LED lamps

 
• Light sensors

  
#####  

 
##### Waste Management:

 
• recycling

 
• We use leftover food for our animals

 
• We use ecological cleaning products

 
• Extinction of disposable plastics

  
##### Transversal Measurements:

 
• Training of employees in sustainability

 
• Whenever possible we use local and national products

 
• Resource consumption monitoring system

 
• Incentive to our guests for walking trails and providing guides on the surrounding nature

   
##### Decoration:

 
• We have a high rate of use of wood materials (reduction of plastics)

 
• Use of fireplaces as a form of heating (also available in rooms)
