#### Grand Isle Resort & Spa going ECO

They announced the first phase of its Do No Harm Policy by eradicating single-use
plastics resort-wide. As a requirement for the new policy, all on-resort vendors
must eliminate plastic completely. I mean or only use eco-friendly plastic that 
is completely bio-degradable in less than 18 days.


That’s so big a deal. For it’s extremely important to continue making moves to create
an environmentally friendly resort community.

Lester Scott, Managing Director of Grand Isle Resort & Spa added: “By ridding Grand
Isle Resort of single-use plastic, we are taking that next step in preserving of
our islands’ natural environment and wildlife.”

As part of the newly-instated Do No Harm Policy, plastic straws have been fully-
eliminated from the property and signage will be posted to encourage guests to reuse
towels during their stay. In addition, resort staff participate in periodic beach
clean-ups, not just on Emerald Bay Beach, but on neighboring beaches as well.

In addition, Grand Isle Resort works closely with Exuma Pride. That’s an organization
that dedicates itself to creating a visible impact on keeping the island clean, 
maintained and sustainable. Grand Isle Resort participates in a variety of programs
with the Exuma Pride. For that’s including beach [cleanup](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/06/deep-water-horizon-and-bp-spokesman-claim-cleanup-plan-is-working-wtf/),
waste management, recycling, education and also public awareness.
