Cabbage Cay is a deserted 35-acre island in the Bahamas, once thought impossible to develop.
But two Hilton Head Island businessmen took that as a challenge to create a self-sustaining "green" island that they plan to start building on this spring.
STAR Island, the name of the development, stands for Sustainable Terrain and Resources. It will incorporate everything from environmentally friendly features to organic coffee served at local restaurants. Energy will be generated by solar, wind and hydropower.
