The biggest news so far this year is how our Watermill guests will stop 40,000 plastic bottles being thrown into the ocean in 2023. We have put together a fantastic deal to offset all our plastic use by collecting 450 kg of ocean-bound plastic from the world’s most polluted rivers and waterways and ensure that it is not dumped into the sea. This is equivalent to around 40,000 single-use half-litre bottles! Because of this deal, our creative-course guests will know that they are plastic neutral during their weeks with us.
Add to that the fact that we had a record year producing electricity from the sun with our hidden array of photovoltaic panels (and avoided 35 tonnes of carbon dioxide production in the process) and you can see you will be even Cooler and Greener than ever before the mill. Come and join us for a week of inspiring tuition, warm hospitality, stunning locations, delicious local food and wine and the convivial company of like-minded people. And help save the planet!
