ESSC Environmental Matters

Emsworth Slipper is keen to look after our environment. We want our activities to have minimal and ideally positive impact on the wonderful harbour in which we sail and on the wider national environment by measures to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible.

Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club have achieved the Bronze award from the Final Straw Foundation/ The Green Blue ( RYA's environmental arm) single use plastic free accreditation scheme. This involved swapping single use plastics for more sustainable options in some areas. Next is the Silver award to aim for !

Also, our Premises Committee is planning an updated control system for our gas fired heating system, which will allow the Function Room and Bar to be switch on and off separately, with accurate intelligent temperature control. This will give significant reduction in Gas used and the club's carbon footprint !
