ABOUT
THE ECOTEL
|
The
Ecotel has been established by the Kerans Family to provide unbeatable
value in accommodation while achieving growing ecological benefits.
The
Land
The
Ecotel is located on what was a 19th century dairy farm. Native
wildlife is being protected and the regeneration of plants encouraged.
Water
and waste
Low
flow shower heads have been installed and rubbish is being recycled.
Liquid soap and shampoo dispensers are being used as an alternative to
packaged products to reduce waste. Cleaning and laundry products are
phosphate free and biodegradable and clothes are sun-dried whenever
possible for ultra-violet sterilization and to reduce energy
consumption.
Dual
flush toilets and water tanks have been introduced. Subsurface
irrigation has been installed for when a new greywater recycling plant
is built.
Energy
Twin
wind turbines have been installed on the entry sign to generate power
for low wattage
outside lighting. Solar panels for hot
water heating and solar cells and a co-generation plant for energy are
planned.
Friendly
by Nature
The
Kerans are keen to create opportunities for people who stay at the
Ecotel to share ideas with the staff and to enjoy the company of other
guests, if they choose, by using the communal facilities.

| ECOLOGY |
Ecology
The
scientific study of the distribution and abundance of
living
organisms and how the distribution and abundance are affected by
interactions between organisms and their environment.
When you talk about the ecology of a place, you are talking about the
pattern and balance of relationships between plants, animals, people,
and the environment in that place
Everything is connected to everything else.
The term ecology was coined by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel in
1866 when he defined it as the comprehensive science of the
relationship of the organism to the environment.
