Keep South Devon Special
South Devon is famed for its natural beauty and we want to protect it for the future. Here are some easy steps to help preserve this fantastic area and ensure you get the most out of your visit. 
Try Local, Buy Local!
South Devon produces some of the best quality food, drink and crafts in the country and we want to share it! Buy local and not only do you get a high quality product, but you go away knowing that your visit has benefited the local area! Go on, treat yourself!
Leave the Car Behind!
There's something exciting to be found around every corner in South Devon. Don't miss the sights near to where you are staying, so stretch your legs and explore what's local! Give the car a rest and you won't be adding to congestion or CO2 emissions! 
Look for the leaf!
Keep and eye out for the Green Tourism Business Scheme leaf when looking for places to stay, visit, eat and shop. It is awarded to businesses that are caring for the local environment - it's your way of giving back!
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Don't let South Devon go to waste! Reduce unnecessary packaging from supermarkets - visit local shops. Reuse bags and containers, good for picnics. Use recycling bins and ask your accommodation if they have a recycling scheme you can join in with. Rubbish is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, so if you can't find a bin please take your rubbish home! www.bagandbin.org

Switch Off!
See the stars in South Devon! Switch off lights, switch appliances off at the plugs and don't leave devices running on standby. You can help us reduce light pollution, energy use and CO2 emissions - leaving you to sit back and enjoy the night sky!
Follow the Countryside Code
South Devon is full of stunning countryside and coastal paths. By following the code you can protect, respect and enjoy the countryside to the full. Plan ahead and follow the signs: look after plants and animals, take litter away, leave gates and property as you find them, and consider other people who might follow you!
