In an effort to assist in the conservation and protection of Florida's natural resources, The Breakers has committed to working with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to implement environmental or "green" practices as part of the Florida Green Lodging Program.

The Florida Green Lodging Program is a voluntary effort initiated by the (FDEP) to encourage the lodging industry to assist in the conservation and protection of Florida's natural resources.

In an effort to meet the standards required to receive certification from the FDEP, The Breakers has been working diligently to implement environmentally-sound programs to conserve and preserve our environment.

Examples of our efforts include:

Energy Conservation  
 * Retrograde light bulbs in the resort's public areas 
 * Energy Star rated electronics and appliances

Water Conservation   
 * Deep water well and water plant, located on the property, to convert undrinkable water to irrigation water for the Ocean Golf Course
 * Low-flow toilets throughout the resort

Waste Reduction
 * Recycling containers located throughout the property
 * 30% post-consumer recycled content products used throughout the resort

Clean Air Practices
 * Use of environmentally preferable cleaners
  * UVC devices in air-handlers to eradicate bacteria, viruses and mold

The Breakers is committed to expanding and enhancing all of our environmental programs to protect and preserve our precious natural resources for future generations.   For more details on our initiatives, please click here>
