One of the easiest ways to minimize your environmental impact while on vacation is to stick to reusable products and reduce the amount of plastic waste you generate during your trip.

This can include items such as reusable water bottles, shopping bags, and coffee cups, many of which are provided by Atlantis (or available for purchase).

You will receive two Atlantis water bottles at check-in, which can be refilled around the property at hydration stations throughout the resort.

Support eco-conscious dining
The Bahamas is home to many eco-conscious restaurants and cafes that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility. Look for establishments that source their ingredients locally, use compostable or reusable utensils and plates, and avoid single-use plastics. While visiting Atlantis, try the delicious Lionfish dish at Fish Restaurant and indulge in a culinary experience that benefits your taste buds as well as the environment! Removing Lionfish from the ecosystem is not only an eco-friendly dining option, but it also helps native species thrive by alleviating the adverse effects, such as disrupted food chains and the extinction of native fish species caused by this invasive species.

There are many eco-friendly activities to choose from in The Bahamas, from snorkeling and diving to hiking and bird watching.

When planning your vacation, choose activities that have minimal impact on the environment and wildlife. For example, avoid touching coral while snorkeling or diving, as this can damage fragile ecosystems.

Instead, opt for guided tours that prioritize conservation and education.

practice responsible waste management
To minimize your impact, practice responsible waste management during your trip. This can include recycling when possible, reducing the amount of single-use plastics you consume, and properly disposing of any waste you generate. Be sure to follow local guidelines for waste disposal, and consider participating in beach cleanups or other community-led initiatives to help keep the environment clean.
