All the above efforts would be vain if not complemented by environmentally sound every day gestures which are summarised in the following 8 recommendations to dwellers at Miravel::
- Use shower rather than bath tubs and tap water running only when necessary
- Water lawn and flowers preferably with rain water and only morning and evening
- Turn on lights and electric equipment only when necessary; use air drying for laundry
- Make “Intelligent” use of shudders and stores to keep indoor temperature comfortable; (no air condition)
- Use organic food products as far as possible (list of retailers available at the manor).
- Use organic detergents cleaning products, and prefer micro fibre cloths with no need for detergents.
- Practice waste selection and compost organic material in the dedicated containers
- Smoke only outside in fresh air and ashes discarded only in dedicated recipients.
