There's a new mark of excellence in our blue world: Green. And there's no more powerful benchmark in this new sustainable world than being carbon neutral. Can an entire island disappear from the carbon map? Bonaire thinks so. On an island already famous for its forward thinking when it established the Bonaire Marine Park in 1978, and widely acclaimed around the globe for its conservation efforts, this goal seems within reach. Bonaire has three things in excess: 1) Some of the best diving and diving conditions in the world; 2) Wind; 3) Water. So ... wind wins in the island's effort to become carbon neutral. Expect to see wind turbines on the horizon the next time you're exploring all the famous dives that make Bonaire a true divers island.
