English term or phrase: friendly small scale pattern
"...with an environmentally friendly small scale pattern."

This is a text about rural tourism which explains that it is an activity that makes it possible to take advantage of local resources ***with an environmentally friendly small scale pattern.***
I am not sure which would be the right sequence of these adjectives. Do you think the sequence above is ok? Could you plase help me? I would really appreciate it:
