The administration and staff at White Point Beach Resort are devoted to sound environmental stewardship. Their "green" policies have resulted in dozens of operational practices - from installing water-saving showerheads in rooms, to composting vegetation and kitchen waste for greenhouse flower beds, and turning 45-gallon detergent drums into planters. They're even looking at ways to run the golf course without chemicals.
One day soon, there'll be a wind turbine to generate electricity! Last year, this ISO 9000 property diverted more than 100,000 litres of compost from the landfill. They also diverted over 65,000 cans and 34,000 beer & wine bottles - thanks to staffers who, every week, put on latex gloves and sort through a mountain of containers. Resort Manager Danny Morton accepted the Mobius Award for Business of the Year on behalf of White Point Beach Resort.
