Sustenta organized the Mexican Caribbean beach clean up event, which was held on Saturday 25th<\/sup> February, with support from a variety of other companies, both local, national and international.\u00c2\u00a0 The idea was to make people aware of the global contamination of plastic in the oceans, which washes ashore on the Mexican beaches and also to encourage the reduction of the use of plastics in general.\u00c2\u00a0 This type of program will be a benefit to Costa Maya real estate<\/a>, a hidden gem within Mexico real estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Happily

The local community turned out in force (350 people compared to only 50 in 2009) with incredible results; 562 bags (1547.7kg) of PET was collected, 427 bags (1281 kg) of plastic and 555 bags )3607 of other rubbish.\u00c2\u00a0 All recyclable plastics were taken to a recycling plant in Chetumal.\u00c2\u00a0 Prizes of non-motorised scooters, water drinking bottles, water filter machines and radios were given to the winning teams.<\/p>\n

Many tourists visit Majahual, Costa Maya, to go scuba diving or snorkeling at the famous Chinchorro Banks, a natural reserve 35kms from Mahahual.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an amazing coral atoll abundant with marine life.\u00c2\u00a0 Visitors then fall in love with the town and beaches and many decide to purchase real estate and stay.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what happened in my case more than 8 years ago!\u00c2\u00a0 With the Mesoamerican coral reef, the second largest in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, running parallel with our Mexican Caribbean coastline, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s vital that we protect it to ensure that future tourists arriving in Costa Maya can enjoy it.<\/p>\n
