Hotel am Badersee - CONFERENCE MAGAZINE

24 ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS Dear Guests, our beautiful environment is being increasingly polluted by us, the people living on this planet. This is happening in many respects. It is true that as an individual there is not much one can do against this. But many individuals together make a multitude, which can also render a substantial contribution to a healthy environment. Since October 2012, a gas-powered combined heat and power unit has been in operation in our cellar, not only supplying us with hot water and heat, but also with a large quantity of electricity. The small amount of electricity that we need to buy in is generated 100% from renewable energy sources. Of course, this also reduces our costs a little, but it also makes us a little less of a burden on the environment. In addition, in our renovation, we connected the exhaust ventila- tors in the lodge to a heat recovery system so that in winter we do not blow the hot air outside without it being used. Beyond this, during the renovation, we made sure that we use exclusively LEDs and lamps with low electricity consumption. All rooms have a master switch on the doors. The breakfast buffet is kept free of sub-packaging, apart from a few necessary components. We take waste separation seriously, and superfluous consumers are switched off. Please assist us in our efforts. This is simpler than you think. Separate the waste in your hotel room carefully. Try to use your hand towels and bath towels a second time before you give us the signal to change them by placing them in the bathtub or shower. Switch off superfluous consumers in your room if you do not need them. Do not leave the window open too long in winter. Brief inrush airing for a few minutes is much more effective and keeps more warmth in the building. Here we live in one of the most beautiful spots in Germany, surrounded by stunning nature. Please help us to keep it like this for a long time. Thank you very much.
