The island of Barbados has committed to transitioning to be the first 100% green and carbon and carbon neutral island state by 2030.
EcoSkyWater is a local company that extracts water from the air in Barbados using a completely solar-powered system. Their work resulted in the cleanest, most sustainable drinking water. Eco sky water does not need to be refinedlike standard bottled water and the bottles are produced from non-GMO corn
The bottles can be composted, reused over and over, they can even be burned as they have no fossil fuels to emit.
The water bottles and caps are made from 100% non-GMO plants.
Another arm of this sustainable business is the Eco Lifestyle Lodge in Bathsheba Barbados
