Do it for the children.
Can you imagine what the carbon monoxide level must be in the blood of the children who live, play and go to school in downtown San Pedro?
When you need to replace your old gas cart, please buy an electric cart.
With time and a conscious effort, the replacement of all the gas carts with electric carts will clean the air, greatly reduce the noise, and make Ambergris Caye an even greater place to live and visit.
I hope that someday we can put aside our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

No idea what you mean.
Anyway, the way to make the most profound positive impact and really go green, and not just mouth the platitude, is to switch to an electric golf cart when you need a new one. I just came back and while I was there I rode a bike from way south up to the bridge, to see for myself if an electric cart can go that far. Obviously it could, several times between charges.
But I also concluded that all those people on their loud, smelly gas guzzlers will never do it. And they may even claim to be environmentalists while refusing to give up their gas cart. That they "go green" by doing something that makes an infinitesimal impact, in between taking their gas cart 2 blocks to the store.
I hope that someday we can put aside our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

dabunk, you would argue that emissions from the gas carts and their noise are equivalent to or better than recycling and charging batteries?
This issue is important because it comes down to a personal choice. The goal, of getting where you want to go without walking, is achieved with either type of cart.
Again, I don't see people giving up their gas carts. But I think it is important to point out that the green alternative is available when cart replacement time arrives.
I hope that someday we can put aside our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.
