Carbon Offsetting

You might wondered why as we are a Green Tourism destination we don't offer a carbon offset scheme. We believe that by the 9000 trees we planted at Millbrook and or ongoing planting schemes that we cover this. We are not able to use this as an offical offsetting scheme as the government use any trees planted in the UK towards there own carbon offset (by use of satelitte pictures). We think this is not fair and we do not understand why we have to plant trees out of the UK! Just to let you know!

Quick Fact : Did you know that currently the UK spends 74 million pounds a year just from leaving electrical items on standby and mobile chargers plugged in when not in use!
