Green Globe goes blue
Grenada’s 32-room Blue Horizons Garden
Resort attained the Green Globe Benchmark Certificate under the new Green
Globe Certification program for environmental standards.
Blue Horizons first obtained the Green
Globe Benchmark distinction in 2004, but
it expired when the property was closed as
a result of Hurricane Ivan in September of
that year.
During the $1.5 million renovation that
followed, the resort
followed strict environmental practices
with an eye toward
attaining the Green
Globe Certification
again.
Examples of practices instituted at
Blue Horizons that Gay Nagle Myers
paved the way for the
benchmark status include creation of an
organic composting heap; installation of solar water-heating systems and water-saving
shower heads and toilets; use of energy-sav-ing air conditioners in the rooms and insulation on the roofs to reduce heat; and guest
involvement in programs such as towel reuse, garbage separation and recycling.
