"At Francis Ford Coppola’s 20-room Blancaneaux Lodge in the rainforests of Belize, the Privassion Creek, known for its beautiful swimming holes and waterfalls near the property, supplies 85 percent of the energy used for the property and its staff housing. Pools use saline systems to avoid chemicals that are harsh on the environment. And treated water from the creek supplies the resort’s showers and laundry. During complimentary eco tours, guests can get an up close look at how the hydro system works—perhaps after a morning of sunrise bird-watching." - Terry Ward
