At The Lodge we are working towards sustainable tourism in many ways and are always looking for new and innovative ideas.

Carbon Offsetting:
Travel: We have done the maths and we plant a tree for every person who stays at The Lodge.

At The Lodge: In addition we plant local trees to maintain the ecological balance of flora and fauna, and a variety of shrubs and palms which we will be using for creating bio-fuel.

Fruits: We are virtually self-sufficient in fruit and excess fruit is used for preserves or pulped and frozen for breakfast smoothies and dessert sorbets

Vegetables: Currently we are not totally self-sufficient in short and long crops and so also purchase from two independent Rastafarian farmers who grow organically. We purchase all our chocolate products from The Grenada Chocolate Company.

Water: We harvest rainwater from our roof, which is then filtered via German technology into a 40,000 gallon holding tank. This water is further filtered when pumped, on demand, into the house (10 microns) and is filtered a third time for drinking and cooking purposes (half-micron charcoal).

Hot Water: at The Lodge is provided by solar energy.

Swimming Pool: Our 25 meter (lap/exercise) pool is filled with rainwater and the pH balance, cleanliness and safety of the water are maintained by an electrolytic/saline system giving a mild saline solution (0.3%-0.5%) ensuring no damaging chemicals to harm the environment or you!

Waste Water: All our toilets have a 'half flush' facility to minimise the use of clean water. To maintain this system we ask all our guests to put solid waste materials (such as tampons, etc.) in the bags provided for separate disposal and not flush them down the toilet

Solar Power: The Grenadian Electricity Company has recently agreed to a Solar ‘energy exchange’ which means that large (polluting) batteries are no longer necessary, provided one elects to remain partially ‘on the grid’, and we are in the process of determining whether or not this is an environmentally sound alternative. We are aware that the making of photo-voltaic cells and battery disposal are still not ‘clean’ technologies
