The Puntacana Resort & Club, which includes the Tortuga Bay hotel, is being singled out as an example to other luxury properties for their singular worm farm.
Trendy guide to style and culture, Black Book Magazine journalist Victor Ozols reports back from a trip that this is a win-win proposition, where the worms that are based at the PuntaCana Ecological Foundation work hard to engulf organic garbage produced by the hotels, which goes back as topsoil, and helps reduce garbage on the large resort. Ozols is impressed with the discovery that the worm poop-turned to dirt does not smell.
His recommendation: “So, fancy resorts of the world, please follow PUNTACANA’s lead and put some worms to work today. Kick up the marketing effort and make an eco-thing out of it. You’ve got nothing to lose but 1,200 kilos of kitchen waste a week”.
