The day of our departure from Bucerias, Mexico (Feb 22) we were walking home from the Sunday market. We need to cross the highway via an underpass. The litter in the underpass has always been extreme. We had commented on it just the day or so before.
Lo and behold, as we walked back to our unit yesterday there was someone sweeping up the litter. Wonderful! We’re noticed a real improvement in the amount of litter in some parts of the town. So along with the recycling (see prior post), more and more pride in the overall surroundings seems to be taking hold.
Certainly in the commercial/tourist areas there is a always sweeping the sidewalks and streets every morning. It’s good to see the extending to other parts.
That is great to hear, I stayed in Mexico City for a couple weeks several years ago and the pollution was horrible. To have someone sweeping up littler in other areas besides the commercial/touristy areas is really good to hear. I hope you are still seeing improvements with litter in your town.
