Caseys of Baltimore Environmental Policy

At Caseys of Baltimore Hotel we take the potential negative effects on the environment that the activities of our business can cause, very seriously.

In line with this we will continually strive to improve our environmental practices in a range of areas including energy and water useage. We will also continue to develop a number of ecotourism experiences for our customers to enjoy.

The following are actions have taken by us and continue to be taken to minimize our footprint on the environment in conjunction with the
1 Green Village concept.

• All food waste and waste office paper is collected for composting.

• All garden waste is composted and then reused in the garden.

• Cardboard packaging, newspapers, magazines, glass, cans, plastic bottles and used light bulbs and batteries are all returned to our suppliers or collected for recycling. We are committed to further reducing waste to landfill.

We removed all single use wrappers, (biscuits, sauces, & Butter) from the Bar, Restaurant, & Bedrooms and replaced them with homemade biscuits and refillable containers for sauces.
Plastic Drinking Straws & Take Away Coffee cups have been replaced with Bio Degradable types.

• All of our heating and hot water is generated by new and efficient combination condensing oil boilers. We have replaced all radiator valves with thermostatic versions. In Caseys of Baltimore Hotel  we use solar panels to preheat our hot water supply to approx 30 Deg C. In Baltimore Cottage we use an energy effecient Heat Pump run mostly on Night Rate Electricity to provide under floor Heating from an underground source

• All heating, hot water, refrigeration and electrical equipment is serviced and maintained regularly.

• When replacing electrical equipment only “A” rated appliances are purchased.

• We are gradually replacing light bulbs used in the hotel with low energy led  versions.

• We use timber trimmed from our own trees, hedges & Waste Wood from pallets etc for firewood.

• We bottle our own water from our own private underground spring for use in our bedrooms and restaurant. In our newer rooms we pipe our spring water directly to the Cold water Tap in the bathrooms. The same Spring supplies the hotel. Glass bottles are reused.
We are an active member of the 'Free Refill Water' initiative, a voluntary environmental project leading the way to make Ireland a tap water refilling country again. it avoids unnecessary (single use) plastic drinking water bottle waste.

• We strive to use own garden herbs, & vegetables which are organically grown, for use by our kitchen whenever possible.

• We do not use weed killers or other harmful chemicals in our gardens or carpark.

• As much as possible of our food is sourced from local producers thereby reducing food miles (the distance that food must travel to get from farm to fork). Products such as meat, fresh fish, smoked fish, salads, eggs and cheeses are mostly from the locality. As much produce as possible is sourced from small artisan producers.

• We are in the process of changing to provide high quality refillable natural bath products in our guest bathrooms, & Public rooms.

• We send e-invoices were possible to reduce the amount of paper that we use and also re-use paper at the front desk and offices.

• We support environmentally sustainable tourism by encouraging guests to walk or cycle while staying at the hotel. We have walking maps available at reception for Baltimore & The Islands . We host many small walking and cycling groups at the hotel.

• We have an electric car charging point (EV charger for use by hotel guests.

• We support local community fundraising events and help fundraising efforts for local charities, Baltimore Tidy Towns, Baltimore Community Council, Ilen Rovers GAA Club, & Skibbereen Rowing Club .

Our future objectives are:

        To further reduce our energy useage.

        To eliminate kerosene oil as an energy source by replacing the oil condensing boilers with units using a more sustainable fuel.

        To further reduce our waste generation particularly food waste.

        To completely eliminate single use plastic products. Butter wrappers, Condiment Sachets, Plastic Straws, Plastic Coffee Cups are being replaced.

        To plant more trees in our grounds.

        Provide opportunities for guests to carbon neutral their visit.

Leave No Trace

Leave No Trace Ireland is a network of organisations and individuals with an interest in promoting the responsible recreational use of the outdoors. As increasing numbers of people seek the beauty and exhilaration of outdoor recreation, our collective mark on the environment and its natural processes, increases. Litter, disturbance to vegetation, water pollution, wildlife, livestock and other people are all indicators of the need to develop a national ethic that protects both natural and cultural heritage. Techniques designed to minimise the social and environmental impacts to these areas are incorporated into the Leave No Trace Programme.

The Seven Principles of Leave No Trace:

At the heart of Leave No Trace are seven principles for reducing the damage caused by outdoor activities. These are:

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare

2. Be Considerate of Others

3. Respect Farm Animals and Wildlife

4. Travel and Camp on Durable Ground

5. Leave What You Find

6. Dispose of Waste Properly

7. Minimise the Effects of Fire

Leave No Trace Ireland promotes and inspires responsible outdoor recreation through education, research and partnerships. The programme strives to build awareness, appreciation and respect for Ireland's natural and cultural heritage and is dedicated to creating a nationally recognised and accepted outdoor ethic that promotes personal responsibility.

It encourages all outdoor enthusiasts (e.g. walkers, mountain bikers, canoeists, orienteerers, horse riders) to do their part to maintain those lands used by the public for the benefit of the environment and for future generations. Practicing a Leave No Trace ethic is simple. Make it hard for others to see or hear you and LEAVE NO TRACE of your visit.
