Hello @Jennifer3225,
Love that you're asking this! Sustainability is the key to our Airbnb. Our place is completely run by solar power. No hook ups to the electrical grid.
We lived off grid for 5 years before sharing the space as an airbnb this spring.
We built the whole house and our outside kitchen reusing and re-imagining as many materials as possible. All furniture is either made by us or rescued from elsewhere.
We replaced our propane range top with an induction hob to keep indoor air quality safer. While our outdoor kitchen has a propane BBQ and pizza oven.
We provide glass food storage containers, water jugs and beeswax wrappers for extra food storage.
All biodegradable soaps, conditioners, dish washing liquids, and body washes are provided in refillable glass dispensers and are safe for our grey water system. Our toilet uses minimal to no water so there is less wasted water in flushing.
We encourage recycling and provide a compost bin (I'm happy to say everyone has used it so far).
All our outdoor lighting is solar powered as well to reduce the load on our main batteries.
Our garden has fresh herbs for guests to use and many pollinator attracting flowers for our other guests.
We have a trail through the woods and we're very fortunate to have many local trails in the area that we add to our local guide as we find new spots.
We also have many low tech ways to cool the space before air conditioning is needed.
All in all we are trying to minimize our footprint and that of our guests while they visit our recycled Silo.
Can't wait to see what others are doing, I'm sure there are things we can learn from them.
