Environment – What You Can Do

By using local suppliers and shops, the whole island community is supported.
If you don’t think you will arrive on Mull in time to shop in Dervaig on your first night, why not bring just enough food to tide you over for the first day, and then do your food shopping here on Mull.
This is a great way of contributing to the local economy.

and Carolyne helped set up the Mull and Iona Food Trail in 2015, to promote island produce and make it easier for visitors to source the fabulous local produce available.
Dervaig Shop sells local pork and island venison, as well as Mull Cheese and Tobermory Fish Co. smoked fish.
There are Producers Markets around the island from Easter until the autumn – a great way of meeting producers and sourcing delicious produce!  Tobermory hosts one every Monday in the spring and summer.

Why not take a tour, learn about the awesome wildlife on the island and reduce your own car use at the same time.
Take the bus from Calgary if you are taking one of the boat trips leaving from Tobermory or on a Friday use the Community Bus to get to Ulva Ferry.

and checked in accordance with regulations.
When the burns (streams) look dry, it means the water supplies are running lower than usual, so responsible use at these times helps the water supply remain sustainable.
At other times, surplus water (that we don’t use) finds its way to the sea, but it is still important not to waste water.
Use a glass of water when you brush your teeth, rather than running the tap.
Only boil the water you need each time – saves water and electricity!
