Ecologically Sustainable Development, Tortoise Head Lodge,
 French Island, Australia

We aim to improve the sustainability of our tourism and recreation facility. Some examples of our initiatives are:

  • we generate most of our electricity from wind (about 75%) and solar (15%). The remainder (10%) is generated from a diesel. During November 2005 we doubled our solar generation capacity and battery storage.
  • we provide our own water.
  • we have planted over 300 native trees and shrubs.
  • where possible, we use local supplies and local staff.

.  We welcome ideas and discussion.  Please contact us.
