ReCYCling: It is encouraging to witness the increased awareness of the impact of plastic on our world and seas.

We can all contribute to making our footprint a little bit more earth friendly; we have reusable bottles available to buy from the Sloop, the bar or the office if you don’t have one already; our straws are compostable, we work mostly with local suppliers and from next month, our coffee will be delivered in large reusable coffee keeps rather than foiled bag.
