Saromar Gestioni’s interest in environmental issues has been well-known for several years now.

The management choices of the company are oriented towards an ever greater respect for the environment, as evidenced also by the continuity with which the port of Marina di Capitana is awarded the Blue Flag, a recognition given by the FEE to those marinas (and/or those beaches) that meet certain requirements and are able to demonstrate a constant activity in this area.

The information aspect aimed at customers is another important element. For this reason the website www.marinadicapitana.it has been enriched with a page dedicated to the environmental initiatives carried out by the company.

The same choice of a web campaign is consistent with the company’s line of thinking on environmental issues, as a web campaign means, in fact, less plastic for signs, which would be difficult to dispose of, and/or less paper for brochures, in any case to be recycled.

The first theme chosen is Water Saving

The choice to preserve a precious resource like water goes from a few simple rules to a real philosophy of life that involves different aspects of everyday life. A few simple principles can already make the difference.

METHODS TO SAVE WATER:

• Apply a flow reducer to home taps: water mixes with air, saving up to 30 % water.

• Choose the shower instead of the bathroom: on average, filling the bathtub requires four times more water than showering.

• To reduce water usage in the bathroom, keep the tap open only as long as necessary.

• Make sure that the electrical appliances you purchase have a high energy class and are therefore designed to reduce water consumption. The purchase price may be higher but the benefit in terms of energy savings and duration will pay off.

• Only use washing machines and dishwashers with a full load and periodically clean the filter of the appliance. Also pay attention to the quantity of detergent used: good quality washing machines and dishwashers work perfectly even with only half the dose indicated in the packages. Also avoid washing at very high temperatures: for example, regarding garments to be machine washed, temperatures around 50-60 degrees are more than sufficient and make the fabrics last longer.

• For ironing, opt for using a steam iron with a water tank: it allows you to do without the various additives and ironing dressings, which pollute and can be dispensed with.

• Wash dishes, fruit and vegetables in a bowl and use running water only for rinsing.

• Reuse the water used to wash vegetables to water the garden.

• Water the plants in the evening: after sunset the water evaporates more slowly.

• In the bathroom, choose a flush with a separate, double-buttoned flush.

• Make a periodic check by closing all the taps: if the water meter turns the same there is a leak.

• When washing the car, use the bucket and sponge: you save a lot of water compared to the jet of the barrel.

• Collect rainwater and water from the air conditioners and use it for non-drinking purposes, for example to wash the car and water the garden.

• Ensure proper maintenance: a tap that loses one drop per second disperses about 5,000 litres in a year.
