In a groundbreaking move to promote environmental sustainability, the Rotary Club of Grenada has joined forces with EcoDive to introduce a unique bottle-shaped wire-frame recycling bin at Quarantine Point Recreational Park. This initiative, part of the upcoming Christmas at the Point 2025 festivities, is spearheaded by Rotarian Christine Finney and implemented through the Grenada Green Group (G3).
The recycling receptacle, valued at EC$900 and fully sponsored by EcoDive, will be prominently displayed during the 26-night celebration from November 30, 2025, to January 4, 2026. Its design aims to encourage park visitors to responsibly dispose of plastic waste, highlighting the impact of plastics on Grenada’s marine and coastal ecosystems. This marks the second such installation by EcoDive, following the success of a similar bin near Umbrella’s Beach Bar earlier this year.
Christine Finney, a long-time Rotarian and the driving force behind the project, emphasized the importance of protecting Grenada’s natural spaces. ‘Our marine and coastal environments are vital to our way of life,’ she said. ‘This initiative not only promotes responsible waste disposal but also raises awareness about the environmental challenges we face.’
The Christmas at the Point event is already a model of sustainability, featuring 100% biodegradable packaging, energy-efficient LED lighting displays, and low-waste family activities such as s’mores stations and craft corners. Additionally, Six Senses La Sagesse will host educational workshops on soap-making from recycled cooking oil and paper recycling.
Julia Lawrence, President of the Rotary Club of Grenada, praised the collaboration with EcoDive and G3. ‘From its inception, Christmas at the Point has aimed to be joyful, inclusive, and environmentally conscious,’ she said. ‘This partnership exemplifies the leadership and commitment to sustainability that Rotary values.’
