Banana ECOplantation is a perfect fit within the Canary Green network. The plantation combines traditional banana farming with innovative eco-friendly practices that protect Tenerife’s environment.
Through responsible water use, soil care, and environmental education, Banana ECOplantation demonstrates how agriculture can support both nature and local communities. Canary Green proudly features this initiative as an example of sustainable tourism and farming on the island.
Supporting projects like Banana ECOplantation helps create a more sustainable future for Tenerife and the Canary Islands.
Canary Green’s tips to enjoying sustainable tourism in Canary Islands
Visiting Canary Islands on holiday doesn’t give you free rein to leave your values and principles at home. We encourage travellers to seek out sustainable options and keep up with environmental practices while travelling. Our top tips for a relaxed and wholesome stay include:
- Consider green transport options. Are you able to take a ferry to the island instead of flying? While you are here is a car necessary? Investigate public transport links or choose green options such as electric cars, green-hydrogen cars or e-bikes.
- Choose destinations that value sustainability and choose green alternatives such as solar power, recycling and energy-efficient architecture. This extends to places that value workers’ rights and the impact on the local community.
- Bring your own water bottle with you and refill it instead of buying single-use plastic bottles.
- Make use of the recycling when out and about and don’t just throw your rubbish in the nearest bin.
- Take advantage of local knowledge and immerse yourself in the culture through campaigns such as #Ilovecanarias and #meatfreemondaycanarias.
- Most of all, have fun and enjoy your time in the Canary Islands.
