I-LOS ANGELES, eCalifornia - I-Chepu Adventures Ecolodge ephumelele ibhaso ifumaneka kwisiqithi saseChiloe esinomlingo kunye nesibukekayo, esona siqithi sikhulu seChiloe Archipelago kunxweme lwaseChile. Ipropathi inikezela ngendawo yokulala eco-friendly apho iindwendwe zinokonwabela indalo kwaye kwangaxeshanye zikhusele okusingqongileyo. Iindwendwe zinokuthatha inxaxheba kwimisebenzi ye-eco enempembelelo ephantsi efana ne-kayaking, ukukhwela intaba kunye nokubukela iintaka kwinkampani yeentlobo ngeentlobo zezilwanyana zasendle eziquka iintaka, iipudus (iinyamakazi zaseMzantsi Melika) kunye neentlanzi zasemlanjeni.
IGreen Globe ivuyisana neChepu Adventures Ecolodge ngokuphinda iphinde ifumane iziqinisekiso kunyaka wesithathu iqhuba kunye namanqaku ayo okuthotyelwa ancumisayo angama-95% ngokuchasene nemigaqo evunyiweyo.
U-Amory Uslar, umnini kunye nomgcini we-Chepu Adventures Ecolodge uthe, "Sivakalelwa kukuba ukwabelana ngendalo yindlela yokuyigcina: Ukuba uyayazi, uyayithanda - xa uyithanda, uyayinyamekela!"
Le filosofi ilula ichaza izisombululo, umbono, ukutsha kunye nokuqhubela phambili okwenziwa ngu-Amory kunye nomyeni wakhe uFernando ukuba bahlale bephucula izenzo ezizinzileyo kwipropati yabo. Imisebenzi yemihla ngemihla ibandakanya ulawulo olunoxanduva lwezibonelelo. Umbane usetyenziswa ngokudityaniswa kwemithombo yamandla ahlaziyekayo – ilanga nomoya. Izifudumezi zelanga zibonelela ngamanzi ashushu kwishawa ngelixa iiphaneli zesola zivelisa umbane. Ukongeza, iiinjini zomoya zinika amandla ngexesha lasebusika.
Njengenxalenye yamalinge okonga amanzi e-Chepu Adventure, amanzi emvula acocwa ngenkqubo yokucoca umhlaba. Kwaye amanzi agcinwe kwi-16,000 yelitha yomthombo kunye namatanki amabini angama-5,000 eelitha. Ukunciphisa ngakumbi ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi iindwendwe ziyamenywa ukuba zithathe inxaxheba kwi-Eco-challenge ye-Chepu Adventure apho banqanda ukusebenzisa kwabo amanzi ngokuthatha ishawa emfutshane. Ngaphaya koko, iindwendwe zinokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwazo kwamandla ngokukhupha izixhobo zombane xa zingazihlawulisi okanye zithintele ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zombane eziphezulu ezifana nezomisi enwele. Nje ukuba undwendwe lufikelele kwiithagethi ze-Eco-challenge, indawo yokulala emva koko ityale umthi ePatagonia ngembeko yabo.
Lo mhlaba uneNkqubo ye-Interactive Sustainable System apho ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi nombane kuhlolwa ngexesha lokwenyani yinkqubo yekhompyutha esembindini. Iindwendwe zinokufikelela kusetyenziso lwazo lwamanzi kunye namandla e-intanethi ngee-iPads kubuntofontofo begumbi labo. I-Chepu Adventures Ecolodge ivume ukuwa okumangalisayo kokusetyenziswa kwamanzi ngokubanzi kule nkqubo idibeneyo kunye nentsebenziswano. Kwakhona, idatha erekhodiweyo inceda ukwazisa iindwendwe malunga nokuba imisebenzi yazo yemihla ngemihla ichaphazela njani na kokusingqongileyo.
Ukunciphisa i-carbon footprint, iindawo zokutyela zibonelela ngokutya okudalwe kwimveliso yendalo ephilayo. Kwaye iindwendwe zibonelelwa ngamanzi ahlambulukileyo, ahluziweyo kwiibhotile ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe. Ezinye iinkqubo ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo kwipropati zibandakanya ukusetyenzwa ngokutsha kwenkunkuma kunye nokwenza umgquba. Ekugqibeleni, iinkqubo ezingenamaphepha ziye zaphunyezwa apho iminwe ithathwa ngexesha lokungena kwaye zonke iirisithi zithunyelwa nge-imeyile.
Ipropathi ye-Interactive Sustainability System iboniswe kwi Ividiyo yeGreen Globe.
Malunga nesiQinisekiso seGlobal Globe
IGreen Globe yinkqubo yozinzo kwihlabathi jikelele esekwe kwiikhrayitheriya ezamkelweyo kumazwe ngamazwe ukuze zisebenze ngokuzinzileyo kunye nolawulo lwamashishini ohambo nokhenketho. Isebenza phantsi kwelayisensi yehlabathi jikelele, iGreen Globe izinze eCalifornia, eMelika, kwaye imelwe kumazwe angaphezu kwama-83. IGreen Globe liLungu eliManyano loMbutho weZizwe eziManyeneyo woKhenketho lweHlabathi (UNWTO).
IGlobal Globe lilungu le Umanyano lwaMazwe ngaMazwe lwaBalingani bamaKhenketho (ICTP) .
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Guests can take part in low impact eco-activities such as kayaking, hiking and bird watching in the company of a diverse range of wildlife including birds, pudus (South American deer) and river otters.
- The property has an Interactive Sustainable System where water and electricity usage is monitored in real time by a centralized computer system.
- Once a visitor meets the Eco-challenge targets, the lodge then plants a tree in Patagonia in their honor.
