Sustainable camping: green campsites
You can enjoy nature to the fullest during your camping holiday. It is important that generations after us can continue to do so! More and more campers think this and that is why they choose sustainable camping. And that can be done very easily by choosing one of the many green campsites.
Environmentally conscious travel is a trend that more and more people are picking up on. Make sure you reduce CO2 emissions during your holiday. This is also becoming more important in the camping world. For example, we previously wrote about environmentally friendly tents that are being made from old jeans. And fortunately there are also many campsites that opt for sustainability.
Ecological campsites
These green campsites have invested in sustainable camping in several ways. For example, by using green energy, economical water consumption and environmentally friendly cleaning products. In addition, much thought has been given to a good layout of the site, so that nature also has sufficient space.
You can also think of solar panels, LED lighting, light sensors and waste separation. And if there is a restaurant at the campsite, you can often eat local or home-grown products there. On the website Eurocampings.nl you can easily search for ecological campsites at home and abroad.
Quality mark: Green Key
In the Netherlands there is a special, international quality mark for sustainable companies: the Green Key quality mark. This includes all kinds of tourist companies, such as hotels, restaurants and even zoos.
Companies with the Green Key quality mark have sustainability high on their agenda and they apply it everywhere. Think of economical use of energy and water, environmentally friendly cleaning, recycling and well-considered choices regarding organic food and products with a quality mark.
Campsites with this quality mark offer a wonderful holiday spot, but without unnecessarily burdening the environment. The certificate that the campsite receives depends on the number of measures that a campsite has introduced. This can be a bronze, silver or gold certificate.
