Commitments for well-being of our world
IN THE COUNTRYSIDE OF CHARTRES IN THE GRAND GITE DE CHARTRES
COMMITMENTS TO ACT TOGETHER FOR OUR WORLD’S WELL-BEING
In the Grand gîte de Chartres, to be environmentally aware, we follow these practices :
Local businesses did our development works
To transform and equip our family home in rentals week-end and holiday house we have selected local craftsmen.
Very sensitive to pollution we thank you to follow those instructions :
-no smoking
-no pets no animals.
Economical use of energy and resources
To heat house and swimming pool, a heat pump is used with the boiler to limit the emission of greenhouse gases.
The logs cut in our own woods embellish the logs fire in the living-room chimney.
We selected domestic appliances don’t use a lot of energy and choose low energy lighting.
In each room natural light is maximized.
Our holiday house is equipped with water-reducing valves, even in showers and bathtubs.
Cleaning products
Rechargeable distributors are installed to wash your hands.
We use environmentally friendly products : white vinegar and products H 2 0 At home, committed company which eco-manufactures 90% of its products in France and Europe . It recycles its micro-fibers and got the label Nature, Progrès and Ecocert label.
In our landscaped areas and garden the employed practices are respectful of biodiversity and, as farmers, Michel and I have got a Certiphyto training in order to minimize use of phytosanitary products.
