By Jim Walberg From his blog: Palmetto Bay Resort in Belize Continues To Feature “Green Development” This boutique luxury resort on the Placentia Peninsula is a trendsetter when it comes to its “Green Features”! Palmetto Bay Resort is one of the leaders of “green” Caribbean developments in Belize. This luxury resort has integrated into its design certain features that other developers are watching closely. Palmetto Bay Resort has carefully considered its impact on the environment from the earliest planning stages of its development. Some of the features they have implemented are: Geothermal cooling and heating technology. Solar power for outside illumination – pathways, water features, landscaping and the beach. Grey-water systems to recycle water. LED lighting that will reduce energy costs by as much as 80 percent. Indigenous species of plants, including fruit trees, in the landscaping. Cisterns to catch and store rain water and act as a renewable water supply for the saline pool, water features and landscaping. Strategically implemented wind power.
