The District Boracay has now realized its dream of becoming a “GREEN” establishment after completing the installation of more than a hundred Solar Panels on the resort’s rooftops in February. This investment is expected to generate enough electricity to power the whole property.
“We hope to be able to run the whole resort entirely on Solar Power during peak sunlit days”, Resort Consultant Cong. Ronald Singson said, adding that “this initiative will help save on electricity cost and will also provide clean, renewable energy that is good for the environment.”
The project is part of the resort’s commitment to sustainable tourism. The use of solar power will greatly reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and is a great way to offset the resort’s carbon footprint. In 2015, the resort started using refillable glass bottles in the rooms to eliminate the use of non-recyclable plastic bottles as part of its eco-efforts.
