Welcome to Another Day in Paradise!
And welcome to our second annual ecology issue. Green is the theme for April, and this month we celebrate the beauty and biodiversity of Mexico and the home grown ecological initiatives that have taken root here. We talk about organic growing, eco tourism, sustainable architecture, green weddings, ecological preserves and other efforts that inspire.
The tropics are known for their bright colorful environments, the plants, the animals, the fish … but unfortunately the bright colors that are increasingly defining near-ocean environments are coming from plastics, and this month’s cover addresses the mountains of plastic that are being swept into our oceans every year. Everyone contributes to the problem, (by our very existence humans imperil the earth, but that’s no reason to stop living!), everyone can contribute to the solution. We hope this eco issue inspires rather than overwhelms,educates more than intimidates, and perhaps along the way gives you some new tools to do a little bit more to keep Zihuatanejo beautiful (and anywhere else you might tread).
Happy reading, and remember this is also the last issue of our season, thanks for another great year and we’ll see you again in November!
Until next time,
