What have we done?

We have just been to a meeting held by the Tourist Board and a "GREEN" company we had never heard of. We had decided to go as we like to think that we are reasonably aware of the environment but wanted to learn more. At the end of the presentations we were a bit deflated as we hadn't learned a great deal. In fact most of what was talked about we were already doing. At the end of it all we filled in a critique and ticked a box to indicate that we would be interested in being part of a pilot, particularly as there was some help with the funding (owt for nowt as we say up here). We didn't expect to hear anything else, especially as we hadn't been full of praise on the critique form, so were really surprised to be selected as the pilot guest accommodation for Whitby on the Green Tourism Business Scheme - that company we'd never heard of.

After all that we have another meeting tonight with Plastic Bag Free Whitby, no rest for the wicked.
