Going Green!

Here at Yalbury Cottage we have been brainstorming ways to be more environmentally friendly. We think it is more important now than ever to protect our planet!

As a team we already do many things towards this ethos:

• Reduced ordering to save travel miles
• Lift shares to and from work
• Have our own greenhouse and garden to grow our herbs and garnishes
• Use many eco-friendly and biodegradable products such as straws, toilet rolls and stirrers
• Recyclable water bottles in our hotel rooms
• Buy from local, green suppliers
• Recycle food containers by using them for storage of yet more food!
• Always save power by turning off lights, ovens and machines whenever possible (at the mains plug/wall!)
• Have our own compost bins on site

As a team we pledge to:

• Reduce our plastic and packaging use by using even more eco-friendly products such as plastic-free piping bags and cling film
• Use biodegradable paper where we can, and reduce our printing amount
• Use refillable bottles and infills
• Have two vegetarian staff meals a week
• Over the winter we will use a clothes horse rather than our tumble drier to dry the washing
• Replace our radiators before the winter to be more energy efficient

We have decided to take responsibility and adopt a new way of living and working, and hope to influence you along the way as well!
