Frank Delape in Reducing Carbon Foot Prints

So far we saw many philanthropic activities of Mr Frank Delape and you dont believe this person even care for the earth and trying to reduce the carbon foot print of residential reports. Passionate about sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint of residential resorts, Frank and Kimberly DeLape hope to inspire other developers with a new approach to development in Panama “Live fully but tread lightly” is the mantra of Frank and Kimberly DeLape, the Forbes 500 listed owners of Island Living Resorts (ILR) who have created the ‘eco-luxe’ Emerald Monkey brand. The first Emerald Monkey resort, which is being constructed on Shepherd Island in Bocas del Toro region of Panama, is being promoted as the first completely carbon neutral luxury resort. Frank DeLape, who oversees the construction and operational elements of the project, tells OPP that ‘zero carbon’ is an unrealistic goal for any developer – despite hydro-electricity for the resort’s power and drinking water piped in from the Panamanian mountains. “Our carbon control begins from the completion of the development,” he says. “We have gone through a brutal Environmental Impact Analysis to measure and manage the impact of this resort.” Unique to ILR, as far as OPP is aware, is the recruitment of a Chief Conscience Officer to rigorously explore every detail of the resort to ensure its carbon neutrality – from whether the Balinese wood and stone are from renewable sources to water management. Part of this rigor is to offset the shipment of villas from Bali, where they have been designed, built, inspected and dismantled. “We looked around the world to see which society had invested the most in sustainable communities, and Bali came top of the list,” adds CEO and founder Kimberly DeLape. “They combine indoor and outdoor living in their architecture, and that is what we will deliver with Emerald Monkey.” Emerald Monkey is a personal project for Frank and Kimberly, that allows them to explore the carbon neutral model and apply the lessons learned to other developments in the pipeline – including ‘The K’, a chic resort on one of the other islands in Bocas del Toro. “This is a learning process that the entire industry can benefit from,” Frank concludes. “And it’s launching at a time when people are more receptive to it,” adds Kimberly. “Not just because of the eco element, but because they are looking for unique experiences. We want to be able to offer a cultural experience that’s worth the journey.” Really we are very proud of Frank Delape for his caring effort in reducing the carbon footprint and how could such a person would involve in scams and the frank delape scams are not the worthy source
