Solar Electricity
Solar panels supply electricity for daily use around our family homestay, including lighting along the garden paths
Small Changes, Used Every Day
Practical Sustainability at Our Family Homestay
✦
We focus on practical choices we can see and maintain ourselves: using less disposable plastic, making use of sunlight, and choosing durable products from thoughtful makers.
What We Do in Practice
Solar Hot-Water Showers
Our solar hot-water system uses the daytime sun to provide warm water for guest showers
Reed Straws
We serve drinks with natural reed straws instead of disposable plastic straws
Refillable Glass Water Bottles
We provide filtered water in refillable glass bottles to reduce the number of single-use plastic bottles used during a stay
Refillable Bathroom Amenities
We refill larger containers of shampoo and body wash instead of replacing small toiletry bottles after every stay
Wheat-Straw Toothbrushes
Guest toothbrushes use handles made partly from wheat-straw material rather than conventional all-plastic handles
A Workspace Made from Recycled Plastic
Our guest workspace has a recycled-plastic TPA desktop made by PLASTICPeople, a Vietnamese company working with recovered material
