Celebrating Earth Day at Now Resorts & Spas!

We love any reason to celebrate at Now Resorts & Spas and last week marked one of our favorite holidays: Earth Day! Observed every April on the 22nd, Earth Day encourages people from all over the world to celebrate the natural environment we live in and support conservation efforts. This year, we had a blast celebrating the 45th annual Earth Day at each of our Now Resorts & Spas!

Guests were treated to special programs highlighting conservation, environmental awareness and younger guests enjoyed Earth Day activities within our Explorer’s Club! Special lectures from trained professionals were also incorporated into the programs highlighting the local cultures and surrounding environmental awareness issues.

Check out some of our favorite photos from this fun day – thanks to everyone who celebrated with us!

At Now Jade Riviera Cancun, we believe beauty like this is well-worth protecting!

The Rainforest Alliance recognized Now Jade for implementing an integrated waste management program to reducerainforest-alliance-verified-mark-lg our amount of waste and safely dispose of it. This was an extensive undertaking that included an analysis of the existing conditions and education of Now Jade personnel. The hotel worked closely with professionals trained in identifying, handling and sorting hazardous chemical and solid waste. Now Jade has recovered and recycled more than 32 tons of materials that would have otherwise ended up in the municipal landfill thanks to this initiative!

Celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8

This Sunday, June 8th is World Oceans Day and Now Resorts & Spas encourages our guests to celebrate. On World Oceans Day, people all around our blue planet come together to honor the ocean, which links us all and is an especially important part of life at Now Resorts & Spas! After all, what would a tropical vacation be without a beautiful beach?

Observe World Oceans Day this Sunday, June 9th!

Since 2008, the United Nations have officially recognized June 8th as World Oceans Day, and for good reason; the ocean generates most of the oxygen we breathe, helps feed us, regulates our climate, cleans the water we drink, is home to many potential medicines and, of course, provides limitless inspiration and beauty enjoyed by all who have ever experienced being by the sea.

While the ocean may be huge, mankind’s impact on it, and the creatures that live in it, is all too real. The sea turtle, for example, has been threatened by humans due to unsafe fishing methods, black market demand for their meat, eggs and shells, beach development and oil pollution. Now Jade Riviera Cancun helps ongoing turtle conservation efforts with our Turtle Release Program. After protecting sea turtle nesting areas while the eggs develop during the summer months, upon hatching, staff and guests come together to release precious baby sea turtles in to their ocean home.
