Yes, we're continuing to make positive eco choices for our hostel, there's still more we can do - but we've made a good start:-

• We're using separate bins for recycling paper / cardboard, plastic, glass and cans.
• In our office we're re-using paper and envelopes as note books and jotters.
• We're reducing how much paper we require, now using email to communicate with our customers and suppliers wherever possible.
• Our toilets now all have a low flush option.
• We're using low energy light bulbs in every fitting.
• Our walls and roofing are cosy and snug with insulated plaster board and triple level loft insulation.
• We benefit in using energy efficient condensing boilers.
• All our cleaning and washing agents are purchased from Ecover, a product range made from sustainable plant and mineral ingredients, designed for the absolute minimum effect on the environment.

Yes, where possible and with every effort we:-

• Order our whole food products and fair trade products from Good Food and our local fair trade shop Kingdom Kraft.
• Support our local farmers by purchasing our sausages, bacon, etc from our award winning local butchers.
• Source our new furniture, bed linen, carpets, etc from local British business.
