Little green
steps:
5 for us and 5 for you
Often, being sustainable is about all the little things we do that add
up to a big impact. If we tell you ours, will you do yours?
5 things we do to make Young’s Rooms
a more sustainable stay.
1. We’re green powered
100% of our electricity now comes from
renewable sources, and we’ve started 昀椀tting
solar panels where we can. Plus, nine of our
pubs already have EV charging points,
and we’ll be installing more very soon.
2. We’re switch-off saviours
It’s the job of the Sustainability Champions
in each of our pubs to go around turning off
things like bar fridges, lights, coffee machines
and dishwashers at night-time.
3. We’re paper conscious
For guest messages in our bedrooms, we’ve
made permanent wooden signs to replace the
paper ones that needed reprinting regularly.
4. We’re multi-use champions
Using re昀椀llable bottles for the toiletries in our
rooms is just one way we’re working towards
removing all unnecessary single-use plastic.
5. We’re on the side of the sea
We are on track to raise over £100,000 for
the Ocean Conservation Trust to support
sea grass planting. We’re doing this through
the sales of Plymouth Gin (so we should also
thank our guest and customers).
And here are 5 simple things you
can do to help us in our sustainability
mission.
1. Switch off and shut-down
When you leave your room, you can
save energy by remembering to take
your key card out of the slot as well as
turning off the lights, air conditioning,
towel rail, TV and radio.
2. Lighten the load
If you’re staying with us for a few nights,
you can save unnecessary laundry
(which saves energy) by drying your
towels on the towel rail and reusing
them. If you do need a towel refresh,
just drop the ones that need washing
in your bath or shower.
3. Don’t bin the coffee bits
Did you know we can recycle your used
Nespresso pods? So, don’t bin them,
just leave them in or by the machine.
The coffee grounds get used as soil
improver, and the aluminium makes
new drinks cans.
4. Cut down on paper
You can help save paper if you leave
any printed materials in your room for
the next guest. You can also opt for a
digital-only invoice (but do feel free to
take The Fold home for further reading).
5. Sharing is caring
Our re昀椀llable toiletries replace the old
disposables. So, please don’t take the
bottles home with you – leave them for
the next guest or you can treat yourself
to a gift pack at reception.
Few things sum up summer
days enjoying a pub garden
with friends as well as
a perfectly made spritz.
And this one might just
be the bee’s knees.
Our Beesou Berry Spritz is a real humdinger.
It’s wildly fresh and fruity with raspberry and
orange galore, but its bitter-sweet secret is
Beesou, a delicious aperitif made with
ethically sourced, raw British honey.
Create a buzz when you mix a
Beesou Berry Spritz

- 200ml Fever-Tree Blood Orange Soda

raspberries to garnish
Fill a spritz glass with ice, add the liquid
ingredients, stir until mixed, and garnish
artfully with the thyme.
