I am very happy to meet this beautiful community and to be able to share with you these great experiences.
I have a small AirBnb in the historic center of Santa Marta, Colombia. A cozy and small apartment but certainly located in one of the most beautiful places in the city.
I would like to share some of my sustainability actions that I carry out in my little AirBnb:
First of all and being aware of the environmental state of the city of Santa Marta where the beaches are very battered 😣, dirty and full of plastic after a holiday weekend I was encouraged to put in my AirBnb this nice initiative called:
- Ecoladrillos: They are a technique of plastic bottles that seeks to conglomerate the plastics of a single use and that have a complexity in its handling and proper management. In the meantime, guests can put there bags and food packages. Of course with a small instruction manual.

-
Cloth bags so that guests can do their shopping at the supermarket without having to bring home bags and more bags.
- Local shopping: I provide guests with local coffee and other handicrafts that guests can purchase and in this way support the local economy and the indigenous and peasant communities of the region.

Basically with these actions I have understood that the guests feel more comfortable and calm, I feel that many connect with this concern about solid waste and in this way contribute with a small positive footprint to the care of nature.
I hope it can be useful for next hosts.
Best regards
