Sustainable Coliving

Sustainable Practices and Strategies in EcoIsleta

Perhaps you want to know why EcoIsleta is a Sustainable coliving, let’s explain ourselves.

EcoIsleta is a Certified Organic Shop by the Government of the Canary Islands, we offer Km0 and bulk products and organic bulk cleaning products.

We are a Zero Waste Coliving, which means that we work to reduce the generation of waste that we send to the landfill, this entails a huge number of measures and strategies within our Coliving and in collaboration with the neighborhood in which we are.

We separate our waste into 5 different containers: paper, plastic, compostable, non-compostable, and glass.
We compost organic waste within our Coliving with our worm composter, but we also compost in community compost bins in the La Isleta neighborhood.
We weigh all our waste, to analyze and study our Zero Waste strategy, data that we share with the community.
We have an osmosis system installed for the colivers’ water consumption, we reduce plastic.
We use bulk BIO cleaning products from our store, cleaning and bathroom products are also ecological.
We have 3 cultivation tables to plant in the house and where we generate a circular circuit with our composting system. We also have canary plants, to promote biodiversity.
In the coliving, you can find empty containers to buy in our bulk store.
Some of our dinners are vegan, encouraging our colivers to consume less meat.
In common areas we have energy-saving systems.

We strive to produce a positive impact in our neighborhood, this is perhaps one of our most important characteristics.

We collaborate with different NGOs and neighborhood associations as well as educational centers for regeneration and sustainability.
We made visits to a Secondary Education Institute to explain and talk to students about what this remote work revolution means.
We are involved in a community and neighborhood project to compost in all the educational centers of the neighborhood
We hike the volcanoes and the Natural Landscape near Coliving to explain the natural values of La Isleta
EcoIsleta has signed and is part of the 2030 Agenda for Gran Canaria, participating in the territorialization commission

All of our furniture, except for the chairs, has been built by hand, which allows us to repair almost everything inside the house.
We have tools in the house to repair almost everything.
We have 2 bikes in the house for free, to help you move in the city
You do not need a car in our coliving, you can do everything on foot, in addition to the public transport systems to visit the island, they pass very close to the house.

The future depends on communities that are capable of facing future challenges, such as loneliness in cities, the need to share resources, or the almost obligation to collaborate to solve many of the sustainable challenges.

We are a Sustainable Coliving open to remote workers and neighbors, our goal of connecting remote workers with the local community has led us to hold weekly dinners to which neighborhood residents are invited.
We also do Canarian cooking workshops, where remote workers can learn and get closer to our identity and culture.
