The breath we take, the water we drink, the food on our plate, the sun, the rain, the snow, the life source of living things, plants, animals, life forms that are part of a perfect order… we owe the nature a big “thank you” for all of it. Within this perfect balance, consumption and waste – without any regard for tomorrow – is driving us toward a dark future. Earth’s resources are rapidly disappearing, and this looming extinction threatens all life. Since 1995, half of the coral found in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia has died. The Amazon Rainforest could disappear altogether within the next 35 years. By 2050, there will be more plastic waste in the oceans than fish, and in just four years, half of the world’s population will have trouble accessing fresh water resources. The continued destruction will have irreversible consequences for the climate and living beings – in short, for the whole of nature. We are no longer in an era where we can simply watch what is happening and read about the consequences of climate change in the newspaper. It is now a necessity to think seriously, to consider our consumption habits and their effects on the environment. There is a lot we must do to continue living within the order and generosity of nature, and to show respect for it. Even small changes, if embraced by the billions of people around the world, can lead to a significant and meaningful difference. That is why we are carrying out our sustainability policies through our “Stay in Harmony” program, and have embarked on a journey where our priority is nature. We aim to reduce our carbon footprint, use resources consciously and create as little waste as possible. Our goal is to offer a service that cares about nature, as well as to encourage our guests to adopt eco- friendly changes in their lives in order to look towards the future. You can start living in peace with nature, which is your home, immediately, just by thinking about what you can do today and taking action.
