The Continuous Contribution to Earth Hour by the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort
Saturday, March 27th, 2021 is Earth Hour 2021.
The mission of Earth Hour is to increase awareness and spark global conversations on protecting nature not only to combat the climate crisis but to ensure our own health, happiness, prosperity and even survival.
As a continuous effort in doing everything possible to minimize the environmental footprint, the Amsterdam Manor contributed by turning off all of its exterior lights between the hours of 8:30 PM and 9:30 PM. It is the pride of the resort on being one of the most eco-friendly hotels in Aruba. Some other main efforts include:
- Saving water by using Aerators and Dual Flush Systems
- Saving energy by using Solar Heaters and insulation doors and windows
- Minimizing emissions and waste generation of regular and hazardous materials involved in our operations
- Protecting and minimizing our impact on the air quality
- Decreasing solid waste generation and, where possible, increasing re-use and recycling practices
- Properly managing our waste water resources to minimize our impact on the environment
- Encouraging and enhancing environmental awareness among our guests, staff, and the local community
- Participating with NGO’s (Non-Government Organizations) in conservation programs to protect local species and their habitat
- Every year, sea turtles lay their eggs on Eagle Beach. To protect them from harm, we have our staff ensure that there is no human interference
