Excellent stuff! Camboats have gone a long way to reducing their impact on the environment. However we continue to stay in touch with The Green Blue for the latest information on how to be green and still have a great time on the water. 

Extracts from the checklist.  

Do you use low phosphate washing up liquid? Yes   Detergents and bleaches can damage the environment. We avoid products which contain bleach, chlorine and triclosan. 

How do you dispose of food waste? In bin/compost  Not even biodegradable waste should go over the side, even tea bags contain plastic these days! Composting helps to reduce greenhouse gasses. 

What type of toilet paper do you use? Recycled.   Recycled toilet paper is not only easier on the environment it has shorter fibre and is therefore less likely to block marine toilets! 

Do you use fair trade/organic/low mile products? Yes   These products all help to minimise impact on the environment and are all good choices to make, on the boat and at home. 

Do you use renewable energy on your boat? Yes – solar panels!  Also battery operated equipment use rechargeable batteries. Our electric advertising van is also solar powered. 

Do you separate and recycle rubbish? Yes.   All glass, aluminum and cardboard are separated and are processed through dedicated recycling bins. Camboats have worked hard to eliminate single use plastics such as disposable tumblers and cutlery from the boats.  We also discourage passengers from bringing single use plastic aboard, by offering onboard glasses and crockery if they are bringing their own picnic/drinks onto the boat.
