1. Switch to Energy-Efficient Appliances
One of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint is by using energy-efficient appliances.

2. Reduce Water Usage

3. Leave the Car Behind
One of the perks of staying at Inspire Leisure’s holiday home parks in Yorkshire and Northumberland are the beautiful surroundings, perfect for leisurely strolls and bike rides. Instead of driving, take advantage of walking and biking trails. Walking or cycling not only reduces your carbon footprint but also allows you to fully appreciate nature and stay active.
Tip:
Keep some bikes at your holiday home to save you bringing them with you each trip.

4. Adopt Sustainable Practices in Daily Life
Small daily habits can have a big impact on the environment. Reduce single-use plastic by using reusable bags, bottles, and containers in your holiday home for taking on days out with you. Go for eco-friendly cleaning products that do not contain harmful chemicals. Composting organic waste and recycling whenever possible can also help minimise your waste footprint.

5. Support Local and Sustainable Businesses
Another way to make your holiday home more eco-friendly is by supporting local and sustainable businesses.

Purchasing locally sourced groceries and eco-friendly products from businesses local to your holiday home means that not only do you get unique and high-quality products, but you also contribute to the sustainability of the community around your holiday home.
