Clean Conscience

Most hotels include complimentary toiletries but have you ever wondered what happens to the ones that are left behind? 70 million bars of soap and 200 million travel sized toiletries are going to waste in the UK every year.

Shad Fishing in the Severn

For anyone with an interest in the environment sometimes the news can seem like a brutal place that is best avoided. In recent weeks, we have faced reports that the world’s wildlife has fallen by 58% since 1970 and protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline have dominated headlines across the world.

Commingled MRF’s are burying their heads in the sand
