Our Eco Gecko logo symbolizes our
love of island habitat. We treasure the geckos that live at Northside Valley and are committed to preserving resources. That’s why we capture rainwater,
a renewable resource, for use in the villas. We recycle and reuse as much as is
possible. Your villa comes with a recycle and compost bin as well as dishpans in the kitchen. You are invited to use these items as you
feel comfortable. The dishpan water may be disposed of on the outdoor vegetation.
We have many other sustainable practices – look for the gecko, he’ll
let you know what they are.
The design of your villa uses high ceilings, wide windows, and the shade
of native trees to keep your house cool. Native materials were used in
the building of the homes. Waste is handled through a septic system and degrades
naturally. Your villa uses efficient gas stoves for cooking.
Northside Valley is dedicated to offering a vacation that minimizes
the
impact of human habitation on the surrounding environment.

Our Gecko is looking fondly at the two girls planting mango trees at Northside Valley. Mango trees are the most effective trees on our planet for removing carbon gasses from our atmosphere. Northside Valley now has a total of one dozen mango trees working hard to clean the air.
