This month, Bluestone National Park Resort in Wales has committed to operational plans for realising its 'ambitious mission' to become the first fossil fuel free family holiday park in the UK in 2025.
As part of this, the resort will be the first in the UK to purchase only renewable energy by supplementing mains gas for bioLPG , hydrotreated vegetable oil in place of diesel and kerosene; and sunshine from its on-site solar park which powers a third of the resorts annual electricity needs.
Environmental scientist and Bluestone’s Sustainability Director, Marten Lewis, says:
"Bluestone started its regenerative tourism movement back in 2004 when William McNamara wanted to do something different with his 500 acre dairy farm; he saw a way of transforming intensively farmed dairy pasture into a successful regenerative tourism piece with people and planet front and centre.
"Supporting the local economy, the third sector, biodiversity, and more was all laid out in William’s visionary green book, the same year the UN coined the term ESG.
There are similarities with Ecotricity founder’s story with a wind turbine, his caravan and a vision.”
Marten continues:
“Our commitment to renewable energy projects extends beyond day to day operations.
"With our solar park at Bluestone we are collaborating with Swansea University on biodiversity projects over the coming decades, analysing the life of the site, and life at the site.
"Bluestone doesn’t want to have no impact, we want to have a positive impact with everything we do.”
