Anna Ryder Richardson backs eco-caravan

Posted by Greg Throughton


Anna Ryder Richardson is heading to Weymouth this weekend to see a very green caravan, people with Comet caravan taps were told.


The interior designer and former star of Changing Rooms is making the trip to endorse 'The Vision', Haven Holiday Homes' first eco-friendly caravans, the Dorset Echo reported.


Kitted out with insulation, double glazing, 100 per cent efficient lighting and water saving systems, the caravans aim to cut gas and electricity costs by as much as 45 per cent, as well as reducing carbon emissions, the source said.


"Eco-tourism is a major player in changing the way we live our lives and the more we adapt and change our own practice the better it is for the planet," Ms Ryder Richardson said.


"Holidaying in the UK is not only fun but it's also better for our carbon footprint," she added.


Meanwhile, one of the UK's first ever static caravan sites, the Oakdown Country Caravan park, near Sidmouth, has recently celebrated its 60th anniversary.
