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 we 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.
Dervaig Village Hall holds fortnightly markets, and on alternate weekends there are markets in Craignure and Tobermory.
You can buy more local produce, including their own smoked salmon and trout from Tobermory Fish Company in Tobermory.
You can buy Mull Cheese from their farm near Tobermory.
Island Bakery biscuits are available in lots of shops on the island.
Glengorm Vegetables (in season) can be purchased from Glengorm Coffee Shop.

Why not spend the day with them and reduce your own car use.
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!

to protect and preserve the wonderful environment we live and work in.
