We believe every little bit helps. The Organic Panda is run on a green energy tariff and uses eco light bulbs. Our water is metered and we have a water butt. We recycle our household and guests waste. Our cleaning products are eco friendly and paper products organic and/or made from a sustainable source. Our home is surrounded by mature cornish plants and palms. We grow a number of wild ‘weeds’ to attract the unusual hummingbird moth. Please support a St Ives initiative to become plastic bag free. We have jute bags available for you to use for shopping and beach trips - just ask.
