Green House: an ecological and sustainable hostel made in Peniche
The Portuguese coast, especially the Western region, is increasingly on the route of the surfing world, bringing thousands of practitioners per year and, with them, investment and boosting the local economy.With the arrival of tourists, the local hospitality industry had â€" and have â€" to restructure its offer and services. And the best way to do that is through the sustainable tourism-linked deals, or they weren't real surfers ambassadors of the sea and the environment.One of the most recent offerings is the Green House, a hostel that promotes a sustainable and ecological concept. "Both the furniture as decoration result from the use of recycled materials, which gives us a natural and inviting environment," explained Green Savers responsible for hostel, Ana Cabral. All existing parts can still be purchased by the guests or visitors, according to the charge.On the other hand, the lamps used in illumination of the hostel are low consumption and Green House favours the use of ecological detergents. There is also a "system services" in which volunteers from various countries perform small jobs, according to their experience and motivation. "In Exchange for bed and breakfast, they contribute little works of creation and improvement of furniture, support for promotional activities or management", explains Ana Cabral.Breakfast served daily is homemade: the bread is made in own hostel, being the fruit of the season purchased direct from the producer. "With her do the natural juice and jams", stresses the responsible.The Green House is also responsible for promotion of exchanges related to solidarity. "We were pioneers in this type of action, in Baleal Beach and Peniche. We changed his clothes and books (available year-round); sale of gourmet products whose sale reverts in favor of IPSS (like CERCI Peniche, which produces gourmet products); collecting donations in genera for IPSS (as the Association, receiving clothing and other donations for children at risk); and bet on local artisans ", concludes the responsible.. fancybox-wrap {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; }. fancybox-skin {position: relative; /* margin-top: 20px! important; */background: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; }. fancybox-opened {z-index: 8030;} . fancybox-opened. fancybox-skin {-webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); }. fancybox-outer,. fancybox-inner {position: relative;} . fancybox-inner {overflow: hidden;} . fancybox-type-iframe. fancybox-inner {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;} . fancybox-close {background: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width: 25px; height: 25px; float: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 5px; }/*. ng-gallery-image img {width: 565px; height: 393px;}*/Green House, hostel ecológico no Baleal1of 20jQuery (document). ready (function ($) {var thumbContainerWidth = 0, thumbs = Array (), selectedIndex = 1, thumbIndex = 1, imageOffset = 7; $ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail-box '). each (function () {thumbs.push($(this)); }); /* thumbnail navigation */$ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-next '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex< == (thumbs.length-imageOffset)) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left:-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex]). position (). left}); thumbIndex + +; } }); $ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-prev '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex >1) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left: $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). position (). left + ($ (thumbs [thumbIndex-1]). position (). left-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex-2]). position (). left)}); thumbIndex--; } }); $ (window). load (function () {/* set thumbnail container width */$ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail '). each (function () {thumbContainerWidth = thumbContainerWidth + $ (this). width () + 10; }); $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). width (thumbContainerWidth); }); });
