An
Eco-Enthusiast's
Paradise
The
owners of Bahama Cay, who boast of
their island's beauty and natural
preservation, took a project of
trashing its bulky fossil fuel energy
dependence and began develop an energy
system comprising an 11MW wind farm,
14MW biodiesel plant, two solar banks
and a 3.5MW backup battery. Additional
eco features designed for Bahama Cay
include waste management and recycling
as well as water desalination and
conservation of natural rain water.
The island has surrounding coral reef
for tourism and eco-tourism, making it
a top ranked Bahamas destination for
scuba diving and witnessing wildlife.
With crystal-clear water, white
unblemished beaches with cool
snorkeling and 100% sustainable energy
supply, what more could any
eco-enthusiast ask for on
his/her
eco-holiday?

Program
Bahama
Cay prides itself in this field -
delivering high quality organic produce
from its land, utilizing much of its
waste products. The use of non-organic
pesticides, insecticides and herbicides
is restricted in this program, which
sees the return of tasty food with that
distinct homegrown flavor.
These measures have a hugely positive
environmental impact on the land and
also the region, as no damage is done
to the soil, water, local terrestrial
and aquatic wildlife.
