April is Earth Month
"IT'S NOT A DAY, IT'S A MOVEMENT" - earthday.org
At Half Moon, we believe in sustaining the biophilic profile of our resort. Nestled along the shores of Jamaica, our resort is not just a destination; it's a testament to our unwavering dedication to preserving the natural beauty that surrounds us. From carbon footprint reduction to sea turtle conservation, our environmental initiatives are as diverse as they are impactful.
Our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in every aspect of our operations. Since 2005, we've proudly maintained external certifications for our eco-friendly practices, ensuring that our efforts meet the highest international standards. From reducing single-use plastics (with the goal of elimination) to implementing energy-efficient lighting, we're constantly innovating to minimize our environmental footprint.
Our Sustainable Promise
400 Acres & Two Miles of Beachfront - A Biophilic Sanctuary
Half Moon is proud of its commitment to maintaining the 400-acre biophilic sanctuary that guests have enjoyed for more than 70 years.
Our Commitment to Agricultural Sustainability
Through partnerships with local farmers and community organizations, we promote environmentally friendly farming techniques that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and resource efficiency. By sourcing fresh produce from local farms and maintaining our on-site garden and apiary, we reduce our carbon footprint associated with food transportation while supporting the livelihoods of small-scale farmers in the region.
THE HALF MOON CYCLE OF CONSERVATION
But our dedication doesn't stop there. Through initiatives like the Carbon Eater, we're transforming organic waste into organic fertilizer, closing the loop on waste management and reducing waste collection expenses while enriching soil quality. By incorporating recycled greywater for irrigation, we reduce our reliance on freshwater resources, contributing to water conservation efforts in the region. We also prioritize tree planting and replanting, inviting guests to commemorate special occasions by planting fruit trees on our property. With our Sea Turtle Conservation program, guests can witness the magic of critically endangered Hawksbill Turtles firsthand, while contributing to our preservation efforts.
Sustainability isn't just a goal; it's our way of life. We're proud to promote environmental stewardship as a core business value, inspiring both guests and employees to join us in protecting our planet for generations to come. Experience travel with a conscience at Half Moon Jamaica, where paradise is not just preserved, but enhanced through our commitment to the environment and the life it sustains.
