As part of our commitment to ecological responsibility, we are obliged to introduce this ecological fee. It amounts to 0.69\u20ac per night and per person, enabling the campsite to implement actions in this direction with the participation of everyone.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The introduction of this fee makes it possible, for example, to finance the reprocessing of waste to accentuate selective sorting, increase the progressive mulching of flower beds and, for the years to come, the creation of various eco-responsible projects, such as the creation of a compost area and more economical water treatment. Providing maintenance teams with more ecological products (eco-responsible toilet paper, green cleaning products). <\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Details and non-exhaustive examples below of the actions implemented by the campsite to preserve the environment and reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Waste treatment :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"className\":\"mini-encart\"} --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"mini-encart\">\n<li>Household waste sorting (at campsite entrance &#8211; check before removing bins)<\/li>\n<li>Empty campsite garbage cans (3 times a day)<\/li>\n<li>Information for holidaymakers on display<\/li>\n<li>Installation of selective sorting bins<\/li>\n<li>Individual selective sorting bin or bag<\/li>\n<li>Green waste with shredded branches for mulching<\/li>\n<li>Permanent paper collection in the campsite (playground, water park&#8230;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Water saving :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"className\":\"mini-encart\"} --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"mini-encart\">\n<li>Save water<\/li>\n<li>Timer valves in sanitary fittings<\/li>\n<li>Economical showerheads and mousseurs<\/li>\n<li>Low-pressure water heaters<\/li>\n<li>Drip irrigation for plantations<\/li>\n<li>Programmer for night-time watering<\/li>\n<li>Mulch to prevent evaporation and limit watering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saving electricity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"className\":\"mini-encart\"} --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"mini-encart\">\n<li>Installation of load-shedding devices to limit consumption peaks<\/li>\n<li>Installation of energy-saving appliances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gas Management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"className\":\"mini-encart\"} --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"mini-encart\">\n<li>Propane gas systems partly produced from biomass<\/li>\n<li>Choosing environmentally responsible suppliers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"className\":\"mini-encart\"} --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"mini-encart\">\n<li>Use of environmentally-friendly cleaning products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ecological improvements planned for the coming years<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"className\":\"mini-encart\"} --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"mini-encart\">\n<li>Installation of solar panels (sanitary facilities and accommodation)<\/li>\n<li>Recycling swimming pool wash water for irrigation purposes<\/li>\n<li>Installation of recharging stations for electric vehicles (parking lot and at certain locations)<\/li>\n<li>Setting up a composter<\/li>\n<li>Green Key&#8221; label (grid attached) and link to https:\/\/www.laclefverte.org\/le-label\/les-criteres-du-label-clef-verte\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\r\n                <div class=\"faq__item\" data-cat=\"services\" data-track=\"question-do-i-have-to-pay-for-wifi\">\r\n                    <div class=\"faq__item__question\">\r\n                        <p>Do I have to pay for WIFI?<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"faq__item__reponse\">\r\n                        <p>Wifi is available at an additional cost at your \u00c9toile de Mer campsite.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aloa-vacances.com\/etoile-de-mer\/informations-detaillees\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Interested?
