Shell Collection with Billion Oyster Project

At 1 Hotel Central Park, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our walls and into the very heart of our community. We are proud to partner with Billion Oyster Project to ensure that the shells of the oysters you enjoy at our restaurant are not discarded, but given a second life in the vibrant ecosystem of New York Harbor.

Rather than let these valuable shells go to waste, we carefully set them aside for recycling. To facilitate this, the Billion Oyster Project provides shell collection buckets, making it easy and convenient for us to store them until they can be repurposed. Once collected, the oyster shells are transported to a curing site on Governors Island, where they undergo a natural cleansing process. Exposed to wind, rain, and insects for a year, these shells are meticulously prepared to re-enter New York Harbor, contributing to the restoration of this vital ecosystem.

Join us in celebrating this innovative approach to sustainability and witness firsthand how our efforts are making a difference. Together, we are nurturing a healthier, more sustainable future.

Photo by: sunworthhomes, Captions reads: I returned from the cooler climbs of the Northeast recently. The midsummer trip included several days in the concrete jungle of New York City, a place I lived 15 years ago. I still have an affinity for the city and love it's energy and symbol of human progress. In light of all of the concrete and hardscape, the 1hotel.centralpark is an urban oasis filled with signs of nature throughout. You almost feel you've stepped into another world and it provide our family a calm place to wind down after some busy days in the city. 🌳🌲🌴🎍 While they are limited on how much natural light they can bring in, they make the most of it by the bathroom being entirely glass, with a curtain you pull for privacy. Further the brought wood in the rooms in various manners beyond the floors, including the ceilings, and even a small vingette of wood on the bathroom wall. That small example in the bathroom was not a big financial move for them but provides impact to the guest. Seeing the consistency of the nature fractals, timber on ceilings, and greenery throughout shows that directionally we are improving the living spaces with the same concepts global hotel chains are implementing to provide a sanctuary to their guests. They also placed a big emphasis on literature with a nature focus. And as you know I love trees. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Special thanks to 1hotel.centralpark for a relaxing stay in the sea of chaos that is New York, NY. #wellbeing #wellnessrealestate #HealthyLiving #HealthyHome #trees #hotelsandresorts #1hotelcentralpark #Sunworth #OcalaHomesForSale #citruscountyrealestate #flliving sunworthhomes
