Green Comment:

The vision of Icelandic Farm Holidays is to stay at the forefront in environmentally friendly tourism outside Iceland's capital city area. Being a member of EarthCheck, the resort is committed to several green policies which include good waste management, air quality checks and supporting green causes.

Icelandic Farm Holidays - Gauksmýri is located in Akureyri, in the region of Eyjafjardarsysla of Iceland . This country, with respect to its size, is one of the most advanced in the world regarding the management of its waste .
Because of its location, Iceland has focused on using its geothermal landscape to utilize clean electricity and heat. The most commonly used source for heat and electricity is hydrogen, and the country hopes to become the first to be entirely reliant upon this energy source. Not only will the hydrogen energy be used by homeowners and those who occupy buildings, it is also used for transportation. The government of Iceland has provided hydrogen-powered buses to ensure people can get to their destinations in an eco-friendly way . Akureyri more specifically is a city that has become aware of the interest that could have long-term protection of its environment. While some delay is to be filled, its leaders are investing more and more in this direction .
For more detailled information regarding Akureyri, Eyjafjardarsysla or Iceland ecological endeavor,natural sites to discover or sustainable circuits, please to explore our specific webpages.
