Commitments to saving water

Cheers! 🍷).
3. We recover water from swimming pool and jacuzzi filtration for
agricultural irrigation, street cleaning and watering our plants. We even recycle
even paddling pool water!

lavender. These plants are real climate warriors and add a little pizzazz to
our decor.
5. To ensure that the hot water arrives directly without having to draw off a lot of cold water
we have installed a hot water loop system. No more waiting
No more waiting in the shower humming three songs!
Energy commitments

training.
