Go Green Along the Coast

Make your visit to the Jurassic Coast a green and pleasant one!

Go green along the coast and reduce your ecological footprint - keep it a pleasant experience for everyone now and in the future.

Three simple steps to reducing our impact on the environment:

Go Green along the Coast - in just 3 easy steps

Step one: Reduce traffic congestion - leave your car behind...it's so relaxing

TRAVEL BY FOOT along the South West Coast Path - for stunning sea views

TRAVEL BY BIKE along cycle routes - get pedalling, blow those cobwebs away

TRAVEL BY BOAT the best way to see the coast - breathe in that fresh sea air

TRAVEL BY BUS on the Jurassic Coast Bus and linking services - for a top deck view of the coast

TRAVEL BY TRAIN - through the rolling Dorset and Devon countryside

If you absolutely have to drive to the coast - especially during the main holiday periods - please use Park & Ride facilities wherever possible and avoid the hassle of finding a car parking space in the height of the summer!

Step two: Reduce, reuse and recycle - limit the amount of rubbish you create...it's so rewarding

REDUCE the amount of unnecessary packaging that is generated by purchasing supermarket products, visit local markets and buy fresh produce.

REUSE any plastic bags or containers, especially when packing your picnic.

RECYCLE things you simply can't use again - find out where the recycling bins are and use them.

Rubbish is ugly and spoils the view for everyone. It can also be dangerous to humans and wildlife - take your rubbish home with you.

Step three: Eat local food...it's so delicious!

MINIMISE FOOD MILES which is the distance food has travelled before it is sold/eaten. Do your bit for the environment by choosing local produce (look for the ‘Direct from Dorset' label).

KEEP HEALTHIER by eating fresh local food, stay healthy.

Tread carefully, after all we want to see dinosaur footprints not human ones!
