Working in marine education and conservation and being a surfer I am especially passionate about the marine environment. Being situated where we are in the North Devon Area of Natural Beauty (ANOB) I think it is so important to appreciate and value what we have on our doorstep and do everything we can to look after it and conserve it for future generations.

Having just finished a major refurbishment, it made sense to start with a clean slate and ensure the apartment was as environmentally friendly as possible including insulation, energy efficient appliances and lighting and probably most easily having easy to use recycling facilities and not using any single use plastics..

I would like to thank everyone behind Plastic Free Woolacombe, Plastic Free north Devon and Surfers against Sewerage for this great initiative and hopefully these changes however small may just inspire our guests to go away and consider what they can do in their day to lives to reduce plastic waste on holiday and at home.
