245、ed the installation of smart air conditioner occupancy sensors in guest rooms.This energy-saving feature is now in use in all three hotels.USING LOWER-CARBON FUELSThe Disney Wish set sail in fiscal 2022 and was designed to be among the most energy-efficient cruise ships on the water.The Disney Wish
246、was primarily powered by liquified natural gas in fiscal 2022,which,when compared to traditional diesel or marine fuel,significantly reduces several emissions and pollutants.NATURAL CLIMATE SOLUTIONSWe also invest in high-quality,verified,and rigorously vetted natural climate solutions that generate
247、 meaningful carbon reductions as well as positive social and economic impacts.These projects help us address emissions from our direct operations that we cannot avoid.For example,our investment with Proyecto Mirador provides fuel-efficient,wood-burning cookstoves to families in rural Honduras and Gu
