Big Holiday Beach Clean 2016

Cranmer Country Cottages are big on being green. We believe in the need to develop sustainable lifestyles and green tourism to address climate change and are committed to providing good quality and environmentally friendly holiday accommodation.

To that end, we wholeheartedly support Make Holidays Greener month and their Big Holiday Beach Clean campaign - with holidaymakers, travel companies and hotels encouraged to take part in the Big Holiday Beach Clean 2016 this July. This year, the campaign to raise awareness of more sustainable holidays will step up a gear and will be led by ABTA, with support from Travelife and the Travel Foundation.

The campaign is calling for more travel businesses to promote how people can take action to protect the local environment while on holiday, and for hotels to sign up for a beach clean as part of Make Holidays Greener month. Throughout the summer, holidaymakers will be encouraged to take care of the local environment and support local communities in holiday destinations.

We think that initiatives like this and the 2 Minute Beach Clean are fantastic campaigns that not only highlight the need for us all to be more environmentally aware when we are visiting often protected areas of our coast but give simple, practical ideas to how anyone can help.
