Cobden Farm Bed and Breakfast Environmental Policy
In 2009 Cobden Farm B&B received a Silver Award by Green Tourism Business Scheme and received the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas.
Here at Cobden Farm Bed and Breakfast we are committed to providing a good quality service whilst minimising the environmental impact of our activities.
A symbol of this commitment is our membership of the Green Tourism Business Scheme. The scheme provides accreditation and encouragement for tourism businesses to reduce the environmental impact of their activities. By encouraging sustainable practices the scheme ensures the continued enjoyment of the environment around us for future generations.
Some of the main steps we have taken to reduce our impact are:
Recycle as much waste as possible to cut the amount going to landfill
Use Eco / Bio / Northern Environmental Supplies /
home-made products for cleaning and washing clothes
Reduce electricity consumption by using more low energy light bulbs, encouraging visitors - and ourselves - to 'switch off' !
Encourage visitors to use disposable bags so they 'bin it, don't flush it' in the bathrooms
Use recycled paper in bathrooms and kitchen and recycled bin bags for non-recyclable waste.
Any waste left in our guest rooms is recycled
where possible.
