🍃 The Green Buddies Concept is a sustainable initiative of DER Touristik Hotels & Resorts that invites guests to opt for less frequent cleaning in their rooms, thus contributing to the conservation of water and chemicals. The Green Buddies are manufactured by the Spanish Association Against Cancer in Fuerteventura (AECC, Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer). The Spanish Association Against Cancer in the Province of Las Palmas, with a focus on Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, is dedicated to the care, prevention and research of cancer through various activities and services. In Fuerteventura, its professional team offers psychological and social care, physiotherapy, physical preparation and nutrition for patients and their families at all stages of the disease. These comprehensive services aim to improve quality of life and provide holistic support to those facing cancer and its consequences. Collaboration in the creation of Green Buddies reinforces the association's mission and promotes social and environmental awareness in the community. The Green Buddy, in the form of a goat, is exclusively for use inside the resort. However, if you are tempted to take it with you (which we understand), you can support this local initiative and purchase your Green Buddy for €9.50 at the hotel reception. This will support the noble work of the association and promote social and environmental awareness in the community. Why a goat 🐐 : The goat is a symbol of Fuerteventura due to its historical importance in traditional livestock farming and its ability to adapt to the island's dry and warm climate. #SustainableTourism #EcoFriendlyTravel #CancerSupport #SocialImpact #PlayitasNature
