HISTORY OF DEVELOPING LOCAL RECYCLING CENTER

/in , , /by

The History of Developing a local Recycling Center started in January 2005. The Black Sheep Inn invited the Mayor of Sigchos and the local town council to a meeting. One of the agenda items was to determine if the Mayor would be willing to send the country garbage to Chugchilan twice a month. The Mayor frankly said “No!”.

But he also set in motion the idea of purchasing land so that the town could manage and reuse their waste. Thus started the property search for a location for a landfill. Purchasing land was a slow process. The community had to shop for several properties, as well as convince people that they were NOT making a traditional garbage dump. But rather the land was creating a space for separating and processing waste.

After selecting the final site, the Mayor did not have enough funding to purchase the land, so both the Black Sheep Inn and the Italian Missionary Mato Grosso group pitched in. 

Up until then the village plaza had been swept on Monday’s after the weekly market and trash was conveniently thrown into a small canyon in front of the school.  Now the garbage is being collected in four recycling stations in the plaza separating organic and inorganic waste.   The classified garbage is brought to the new recycling center property.   

Black Sheep Inn built a small adobe building on the property for storing recyclables: hard and soft plastics, scrap metal and cans, cardboard, glass etc.  50% of the village waste is organic which is being composted and non-recyclables are placed in a small landfill.   The recycling center was partly funded by the Black Sheep Inn winning the ECOCLUB.com Ecotourism Awards 2006.

The recycling center is made out of handmade/sun-dried adobe blocks and the windows, door and roof structure was salvaged from an old market building that had been torn down in Chugchilán’s plaza, in order to make room for a new ‘park’.  Therefore the center itself is built out of natural and recycled materials.  Organic compost has been used to fertilize the new park.

HISTORY OF DEVELOPING NATIVE TREE NURSERY
Native-Tree Nursery Using Plastic Garbage

(this project also received funding by winning EcoClub’s International Ecotourism Competition 2008) 

Black Sheep Inn is spearheading the creation of a native tree nursery in the high Andes using discarded plastic bottles and abundant organic fertilizer. 

Deforestation in this part of the Andes started over a thousand years ago with the Incas.  The high sierra landscape is now sparsely forested with non-natives of pine and eucalyptus.  Native trees are extremely beneficial as windbreaks, controlling erosion, improving soils, defining property boarders, attracting native wildlife, providing firewood and ultimately attracting more rain!   

This project is relatively simple using organic fertilizer, discarded plastic drinking bottles and a large public property to grow native tree seedlings and distribute them throughout the community.  Part of the property needs to be fenced, a roof-water collector and water storage tank will be installed on a small building which is up hill from the proposed tree nursery, a composting toilet will be built to further produce fertilizer for the trees: basic supplies will be purchased for growing trees and current village employees will be trained on nursery maintenance. 

Currently, village waste is separated into organic and inorganic (a large quantity of non-recyclable plastic bottles are collected) and transported to a one hectare property for processing outside Chugchilán.  This project will use the abundant organic fertilizer and large amount of plastic drinking bottles to start the native tree nursery.   

Black Sheep Inn planted hundreds of native trees on its property over 10 years ago.  There are now mature trees that are producing seed-stock and branches that can be cut for strikes (many of the native Andean trees can be propagated by putting cuttings carefully into fertile soil).  Species at the Black Sheep Inn include: Capuli (Prunus serotina), Quishuar (Buddleia incana), Yagual (Polylepes Incana), Racemosa (Polylepis Racemosa), as well as Alder (Aliso), Acacia (Mimosoideae) and Broom (Retama). 

This project will be completed with collaborations from local town council, Mayor, tourists, Peace Corp Volunteers and Italian Missionaries.  All of these parties have a history of working together successfully. 

Collaborations and Donations:

Italian Mission has offered to install a water connection on the property and provide sawdust.  Laura Schreeg, an ex-US Peace Corp volunteer, has built four native tree nurseries in the high Andean sierra; she is enthusiastic to advise locals on native tree propagation.  She is in regular contact with the Black Sheep Inn via the internet.  There is a current US Peace Corp agricultural volunteer in Chugchilán who is enthused about this project and will give hands-on technical advice and instruction on how to grow seedlings.  The local Mayor has a tree nursery established on the solid waste disposal site of Sigchos and will be able to share valuable expertise. There are an excess of plastic drink bottles available from the village that can be used for seedling containers.  Black Sheep Inn has mature native-trees that can be used for both seed-stock and strikes.  Black Sheep Inn also has technical experience for installing composting toilet and roof-water collecting system.  Lechero fence posts can be cut from the Black Sheep Inn’s property and planted at the native tree nursery site.   

Economic Investment:

Wire fencing, transportation, shade cloth, nursery enclosures, water tanks, roof gutters, wood, composting toilet barrels, metal meshing, cement, cinder-blocks, and seeds.  The village worker has a budget for working 3 days per week yet currently only works 2 days per week.

Faasai Resort and Spa a finalist in Wild Asia’s 2008 Responsible Tourism Awards

/in , /by

There are three Thai finalists in the Wild Asia Responsible Tourism Awards for 2008. They are  Six Senses Hideaway at Phnag Nga in the luxury and boutique category, Faasai Resort and Spa in Chanthaburi in the budget category and Andaman Discoveries in Phang Nga in the community-run home-stay category.

There are eight finalists altogether in the awards which were open to contestants throughout Asia. The other five finalists are from India, Sri Lanka, Philippines and Indonesia.

This is the third year that Wild Asia has held the awards, which recognize tourism operators who are committed to following the principles of Responsible Tourism.

Over 40 candidates filled out Wild Asia’s self-assessment checklist. The criteria for choosing the finalists centers on three core principles related to economic, environmental and social objectives. These include protection of the environment, conservation of water and electricity, efficient waste disposal, support for the local community, treatment of staff and education for visitors. All the finalists will be visited by a fact-finding team from Wild Asia that will check on-site operations, talk to staff and guests and visit local businesses and attractions promoted by operators in surrounding areas. This allows Wild Asia to gain a better understanding of the resort property, how it is run and its impacts in the area.

A member of the Wild Asia Fact Finder team Rick Gregory, who visited the Faasai Resort and Spa in August, said the objective of the awards is to encourage responsible practices in the tourism industry. He said the publicity and examples from the awards would give travelers an opportunity to distinguish between good operators and less responsible ones.

“Travelers are very intelligent, they know what they’re looking for, so nobody can just claim to be green, people have to see that a hotel is green.

Savvy tourists demand an eco-friendly environment, a feel for local traditions and a sense of satisfaction that comes from being a low-impact and well-informed visitor, not a detrimental intruder in a foreign locale,” Mr. Gregory said.

The Wild Asia team says there are four common practices that are found among responsible tourism operators.

  • Commitment from the Top – Responsible tourism efforts must be part of the entire business strategy, this means that all parties – investors, owners and top management – are committed and clear in implementing its objectives.
  • Getting staff on board – Effective practices are the result of a team effort, thus it is important to initiate green programmes and allocate time for these activities on and off the property.
  • Defining, maintaining and improving performance – Sustainable tourism requires a thorough review of ongoing practices and periodic assessments to identify areas for continued improvement.
  • Communicating your programme – Everyone from management to staff to guests should understand the efforts behind, and goals of, responsible tourism by effective communication methods.

The Wild Asia team is filming best practices at the places it visits and these will be placed on its own website. The winners of the Responsible Tourism Awards 2008 will be announced at a seminar on Responsible Tourism in November.

The Lodge at Chaa Creek in Belize gets an Eco pool!

/in /by

Cayo District, Belize, February 3, 2009 – The Lodge at Chaa Creek is making  a splash with the latest addition to its 365-acre nature reserve.  A new beautifully appointed, fresh water swimming pool has been added to the numerous onsite activities tha Chaa Creek offers, and combines to make Chaa Creek an extra special holiday destination.

The eco-friendly swimming pool was built with both adults and children n mind.  Its bi-level configuration allows for swimming and paddling pools, as well as generous lounging space for dining, sun bathing, and relaxation.

“Our family had a wonderful stay at Chaa Creek during the week of Christmas, and our three children were fortunate enough to be the very first guests to take a dip in your fantastic new swimming pool”.

The total capacity of the pool is a whopping 46,000 gallons, 45,000 gallons in the main pool area and 1,000 gallons in the children’s paddling pool.

The pool’s Green credential is facilitated by the IntelliChlor Electronis Chlorine Generator (IECG).  This sanitation system uses a salt chlorinator to create a process known as electrolysis which produces a chloriee gas that immediately dissolves into a solution creating Hypoclorite, a pool and spa water sanitizer.  Hypochlorite kills bacteria, oxidizes organic material, and kills algae, then reverts back to salt.  A low concentration of salt added to the pool water is the only sanitizer used.  The IECG then reuses the salt and the process starts over again.

The award-winning Lodge at Chaa Creek’s 365-acre nature reserve hosts an internationally recognized Natural History Centre, Butterfly Farm, Rainforest Medicine Trail, miles of trails for walking, birding, mountain biking, and horsebck riding, a fleet of canoes, a full service spa, conference centre, and access to Belize’s Maya archaeological sites.

Reef and Rainforest Packages with Chaa Creek’s Caribbean partners are always available.

Hotel Mocking Bird Hill in Jamaica Launches Carbon Offsetting Programme

/in /by

As part of its ongoing commitment to operating an environmentally friendly business, Hotel Mocking Bird Hill is working towards becoming a climate neutral eco-boutique hotel not only by enabling its guests to offset the carbon emissions produced by their flights to Jamaica, but also by offsetting its own carbon emissions and making continued efforts to reduce them thus reducing its environmental footprint.

Their approach is fourfold: firstly, by paying into an accredited carbon offsetting programme (STI’s My Climate) to offset their carbon emissions; secondly by improving their environmental performance they reduce their carbon emissions; thirdly by seeking their guests’ involvement and fourthly by contributing to a local programme which is trying to mitigate some of the environmental problems faced in Jamaica.

They have a link to Sustainable Tourism International’s carbon calculator on their website making it easy for guests to be responsible for carbon emissions resulting from their trip. Guests can also support a Jamaican environmental programme.

The contribution towards a Jamaican project is important. The Jamaica Conservation Development Trust is a non-governmental organisation promoting sustainable resource management, helping to increase local awareness of environmental issues, training park rangers and developing and promoting community based tourism in the John Crow and Blue Mountains. The JCDT’s programme is particularly important as they plant in areas that have been identified as high priority areas for rehabilitation using mainly native Jamaican forest trees, particularly those that are fast growing and have little value for lumber but which are excellent for biodiversity and includes the Hernandia catalpifolia – Water Mahoe, the tree that the endangered Giant Swallowtail Butterfly lays its eggs on and the only plant the caterpillars will eat.

The decision to make these contributions is not about easing conscience, but is part of the hotel’s strategy to operate in environmentally sound manner. The operators of Hotel Mocking Bird Hill are taking responsibility for the emissions generated through their business as well as those produced by their clients’ trips to Jamaica. This initiative is about investing up front to conserve for the future without sacrificing on the comforts associated with an eco-chic hotel.

STI has recently calculated the hotel’s emissions at 68.78 VERs (verified emission reductions, ton of CO2 equivalent) annually.
