LAS VEGAS, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamond Resorts
International® observed the 45th Annual Earth Day on April
22 and, for the third consecutive year, continued its annual
tradition of planting a tree at each of its managed resorts
worldwide . As a part of this beautification project, resort team
members invited their members, owners and guests, to help them
plant a tree on site. This initiative provides a feature that
members, owners and their future generations can proudly revisit
year after year as they continue to vacation with Diamond
Resorts.
This was part of a massive company-wide campaign designed not
only to commemorate the day, but to educate and involve Diamond
Resorts team members and their guests in green efforts.
From Sahara Sunset in Malaga, Spain to Ka'anapali Beach Club in Maui, Hawaii, resorts featured Earth Day activities including making recycled
paper and lavender oil, beach clean-up, recycling awareness
workshops, scavenger hunts and Earth
Day movie showings.
In addition, the company held an Earth
Day event at its corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, at which 942 lbs. of e-waste was
collected. Additionally, Diamond Resorts has diverted 245,896
bottles from landfills in 2014 by purchasing eco-friendly uniforms
from Cintas.
"Earth Day is a big part of our
annual activities across Diamond Resorts and we are committed to
making meaningful contributions to our resort communities all
around the globe," said Diamond Resorts International® President
and CEO David Palmer. "According to
Earth Day Network, it is the largest
civic observation in the world; we are proud to have
participated."
