In the Mediterranean region, where water is a limited resource and the climate crisis threatens with scarcity, the tourism sector plays a crucial role as a significant consumer of water. At Hotel Bell Repòs, in our commitment to sustainability, we have adopted significant measures for saving, reusing, and responsibly using water to ensure its long-term availability.
The Importance of Water Conservation
Water is vital to meet our basic needs, support the prosperity of our area, and maintain the biodiversity of our ecosystems, both terrestrial and marine. However, excessive and irresponsible use exerts a devastating pressure on these natural resources. Therefore, at our sustainable hotel, we are committed to leading a change towards more sustainable water-saving practices.
A Holistic Approach to Sustainability
In response to the call of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the global challenge of climate change, we have launched our “Green Bucket” project. This project promotes efficient water use by collecting shower water in green buckets, which is then used as toilet flush. It is an example of how small actions can have a great impact on water conservation and reducing our environmental footprint. This action helps us save water and has been very well received by our guests.
How Can You Participate?
During your stay with us, we encourage you to actively participate in our “Green Bucket Project.” Every gesture counts: from turning off the tap while brushing your teeth to opting to reuse towels. These actions not only preserve our natural resources but also promote a conscious and sustainable lifestyle. .
Join Us on this Sustainable Journey
At Hotel Bell Repòs, we not only offer you an exceptional experience but also invite you to be part of a positive change. By adopting responsible water practices, together we can make a difference for future generations and move towards a more sustainable future.
Water Usage Facts for Reflection
To realize the amount of water we use, let’s look at these facts:
- Each shower consumes 50 liters. If you use the bathtub, it’s 300.
- Use a glass of water when brushing your teeth and save 7 liters per minute.
- Change towels only when necessary: we use 50 liters every time we wash them.
- Do not use the toilet as a trash can: each flush of the tank is 10 liters.
Thank you very much for your involvement in helping us preserve this valuable resource. With your support, we can make a great difference.
