A man-made island off the shore of Dubai promising to be environmental? Let's see.

A man-made island four times the size of Manhattan's Central Park may not sound very "eco," but the Palm Jebel Ali in Dubai is promising to house an "eco-resort," a wellness resort, and a wellness club and various other facilities.

According to new plans released by developers, 30% of the project will run on renewable energy. Upon completion, more than 35,000 residents are expected to live there.
