INTRODUCING NIKKI
Firstly let me welcome you to Peartrees, our family home of 5 years. My name is Nikki - thank you for booking your holiday with us, I really hope you have a fabulous time.
As a passionate planet protector, I have tried to do something just a little bit different with Peartrees to enable people to have a more eco-conscious holiday.
Throughout the property, I have done my best to make anything newly purchased as sustainable as possible. Researching intently into brands that care about the planet, climate change and doing things a bit differently to limit negative impact on resources.
BETTER WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste is high up on my agenda of things we need to think about and manage better here in the UK. Sorting waste at home, so it can be recycled effectively, is paramount to the future use of our planet’s resources.
At Peartrees, I have provided you with bins for metals, glass, paper, single use plastic and food waste. These can be found in the utility room. Many people do not know that the current mixed recycling approach we have leads to it being incinerated rather than reused. By sorting rubbish in the home and taking it to the local tip, we can help to avoid burning resources that can be recycled and used again.
Alongside a better waste strategy for the house, in the welcome pack you will find an array of plastic free, zero waste and ethical products for you to try. If you like any of these, you can find links to the brands in the shop area.
ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
I have done my best to fill the house with better products that consider the environment in both the materials used and the recycling options at end of life.
These include...
1. Duvets and mattress toppers made from bamboo
2. Pillows made from ocean recycled plastic
3. Cushions made from recycled fabrics and inners
4. Sustainable bamboo items throughout the house
5. Bio-based electricals including the knives, kettle, toaster, and coffee machine
6. Glass and metal cooking equipment
7. Refillable cleaning products housed in recyclable plastic bottles
My aim with Peartrees is to show how simple it is to make a few changes that can make a difference. In our fight against climate change, every little helps and baby steps are better than no steps. Ultimately, I want you to enjoy your stay and maybe take a little extra knowledge home with you on ways to live just that little bit more consciously.
