Going Green to Save The Blue!

Here is what a beach in the BVI looked like before my generous and caring clients volunteered to “give back to the BVI”.
Here is what the beach looked like after they bagged up hundreds of plastic bottles and other trash.
I serve on CYBA’s “GOING GREEN TO SAVE THE BLUE” Committee. Yates Yachts has implemented a long list of environmentally sound practices in our office, including solar heating, paperless brochures, and recycling.
We can all pitch in! There is no recycling in the islands. This year, CYBA is working on solutions to reduce the overwhelming amount of plastic bottle water waste. By educating the crews, and you, we hope to greatly diminish the impact on land and sea.
Many yachts make purified water onboard. Others have opted to purchase multi-gallon water containers which is offered to guests in re-usable, stainless steel water bottles that you can take home with you.
