Things you can do to help
As a visitor to our area, we hope that you will assist
us to preserve the uniqueness of Miranda holiday park
and our region of New Zealand through some simple, but
important actions to make your visit more sustainable:
Seek out businesses that are committed to a sustainable
future such as those like us in the Sustainable Tourism Charter or the
likes of GreenGlobe, Eco-wise etc.
Spend more time at each destination – the distances that we typically
travel contribute to our ozone depletion
Never take or damage the flora & take care not to disturb wildlife
in particularly fragile environments. Always stick to the trails or tracks
Respect the customs of tangata whenua (people of the land) by becoming
aware & acting responsibly
Reduce your waste! Many products can be re-used or recycled. Wherever
you stay, ask for the recycling station
Implement water conservation where possible
Turn off lights and appliances where possible
Hang out washing to dry rather than use dryers
Ask about Sponsoring a tree
Ensure that you use the correct dump sites for black & grey water
(campervans & caravans). Please check if you are unsure
Dump no waste into our storm-water drains. These are drained directly
into the ocean and are for storm-water/rain only!
