For the 20th straight year at Playa Linda Beach Resort seeds for healthy lifestyles are planted during Green Week

Playa Linda Beach Resort continues to promote sustainable tourism with its individual efforts in spearheading continued development of healthy, more environmental efforts with its Resort environment. Goals of a healthy future for the Resort and its employees once again received emphasis during Green Week. For the 20th consecutive year, an annual, week-long program of activities and lectures was presented to employees and helped educate on best practices for real life improvements.

Playa Linda has a long history with seeking better ways to create healthier environments for its guests as well as its employees. The resort early on sought environmental certification and was the first hotel in Palm Beach to implement ISO-14001, and continues to meet ongoing, environmental management standards. In addition to this, the Resort is always looking for sources of alternate energy. Playa Linda recently installed 210 solar panels and will utilize the energy that is generated, as well as provide any surplus back into the island’s power grid.

Housekeeping Assistant Manager Nigaima ‘Nigy’ Ascencion spoke again at this year’s Green Week presentations and emphasized the central goal behind team efforts as seeking a holistic approach that goes beyond clean-ups and recycling efforts, and show how interrelated we are to each other as well as our environment. “We have the power to create a more healthy, sustainable environment for ourselves for long term goals. The investment in green efforts and healthy attitudes come back to us ten fold,” she concludes.
