What are we doing to be green?

Since 2018 we have made some significant changes to the Great Grubb to improve its energy efficiency, and have recently been awarded a new EPC rating of 'B' 

Here is a list of actions we undertake on a daily basis to help reduce our impact upon the environment:~

• All waste is sorted into its constituent types and recycled where possible (paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, tins, glass, garden waste, compost, light bulbs, electronic goods, metals and cooking oils) 
• Energy saving light bulbs are used where possible (the new LED versions are very good and dimmable!)
• Natural cleaning products are used where practical
• We do our laundry at low temperatures and only when it is a full load
• Whenever possible, we wind dry our laundry rather than use the tumble dryer
• We use refillable soaps and lotions in the bathrooms
• We only replace guests towels when requested
• We use recycled plastic bin liners
• Our printers use recycled paper
• Drinking water provided in rooms is contained in refillable glass bottles 
• All food waste is either composted or recycled via the South Hams collection service.

Will any of this effort make a difference?

Even if our collective efforts only amount to a drop in the ocean, what is any ocean but a multitude of drops? - David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas.

Together we shall!
