LIVING GENTLY

HOW WE DO THIS
 

Being vegan – food production is less resource intensive than rearing animals for meat and dairy.

Raise awareness of the benefits of a vegan lifestyle by providing literature for our guests to read.

Buy from ethical suppliers & supporting local businesses (whenever possible) in order to reduce transport in delivery.

Purchase electricity from renewable sources.

Grow organic vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers for ourselves and our guests.

Recycle kitchen waste into organic compost.

Purchase re-cycled toilet paper.

Use vegan, eco-friendly toiletries, cleaning and laundry products.

Recycle glass, paper, plastic containers and aluminium & tin cans.

Encourage walking & cycling – by loaning  local maps and cycles to our guests, together with packed lunches and drying facilities.

Use reusable bags for shopping – reduces the amount of plastic going into landfills.

Choose to follow natural healing methods.

Support charities that are ethically run.

 

WHAT WE PLAN TO DO

Fit automatic sensor controlled lights to the stairs and landing.

Install solar panels to obtain energy to heat domestic water.

Develop the garden to include a pond with more flowers and shrubs attractive to wildlife.

 

HOW OUR GUESTS CAN HELP

Turn off lights and turn down radiators when you leave your room.

Leave any unused towels folded and separate to avoid unnecessary laundry.

Tell us what you like about us and where we can improve.  Feedback is important to us.
