Eco Resort on beach accomodations in Asia
I was pointing out something that a diver that I was teaching the PADI deep diver course, which you get some of in the PADI Advanced open water course, had said, which lead me to Underwater Naturalist, which sparked in my brain and so I started talking about a dream of starting an eco resort in Asia. I have a couple of places in mind all ready, unfortunately both of these sites don’t have bamboo in the amounts that I will need to build a resort, so I will be looking into ways that I can start and encourage bamboo to grow. If you know any please share them with me in the comments thanks
We also talked about building buildings that don’t use cement for an eco resort on a Asia beach, on a tropical island. I was thinking originally that I would build concrete pads and then put tents on them for the first years and then as time went on I would build jungle huts using local materials and then for the final phase create luxury huts.
in a earlier blog post with Ema the engineering student from the UK, she brought up a very amazing fact that 10% of CO2 emissions is generated from the manufacture of cement. Ema stated To reduce it, we’re looking at replacing some of the cement in concrete with other products, such as fly ash (industrial byproduct) or alternatives to cement completely, such as magnesium oxide, although his is still being researched.. Increased proportion of aggregate can also reduce the amount of cement needed, and again recycled waste products such as sawdust or paper can be used.
So there is a lot of garbage that is floating around that ends up on the beach so we will research how much of this we can trap in the eco resort. Reduce reuse recycle. I will have more on this and as always your comments are welcome and encouraged we like to hear all opinions and will print all that are not rude ignorant or crass
