Our planet is precious and something everyone should take responsibility for protecting. Unfortunately, Global Warming is a monumental problem destroying so much of our environment which is something we take very seriously here at The Royal. The Royal has several environmentally-friendly initiatives that minimise our carbon footprint, and support the Island's farmers, wildlife, and landscape.
