Punto Verde 2021



OUR STORY 

Mexico
is a developing country, with many natural resources. The landscapes, the people and the upcoming middle class have made it very attractive for people to call it home or to find it interesting to make investments.

 
In Todos Santos-Pescadero, we are fortunate to have different types of Ecosystems, but we also have an amazing congregation of cultures from different parts of the world. There is magic into these small towns, which is not only given by the amazing Topography, Geology, Ecology and Biota found in here, but by people bringing fresh ideas, houses, business, schools, etc.

In recent years there has been a lack of equilibrium between growth and development. We have seen private and non- private “Developers” growing the town without investing in a suitable foundation.

We all have seen the fast- paced growth in the last couple of years, which has made more evident the lack of proper infrastructure to meet basic resources such as water, telecommunication services, security, health services, education, just to name a few.

 
There are some projects in place that have been dealing with this for many years, and this year we need you to help us even more to strengthen what I think is one of the most important ones: Waste Management.

 

Punto Verde is a project directed by Alex Miró that has shown amazing results for many years but that keeps needing your contributions to make it available and successful as it has been for many more years to come.

 

These are some of their achievements:

 

●     Prevent 1,500,000 plastic bottles to arrive to the ocean

●     Recycled 30 tons of plastic

●     Saved more than 1,000,000 liters of water

●     Prevent at least 750 trees from being cutted

●     Recycled 51 tons of paper and cardboard

●     Recycled 8600 transparent glass bottles

●     More than 8000 cans

 

To keep this hard work happening without compromising the ability of future generations to enjoy the area we call home as it is, we are pledging this year for $7,500 USD

 

The funds will be used as follows:

 

1.      Repair and maintain actual installations of Punto Verde (signs, truck, land and tools) that have been impacted by weather conditions and occasional burglary.

2.      To grow 100% the waste management operation by acquiring another land with the proper characteristics (water, power and topography) to have machinery and human force working correctly.

3.      Machinery and equipment needed for the recycling plant:

a.       Industrial mill to process plastics

b.      Equipment to compact cardboard, paper and plastics

c.       Lift truck to operate the recycling center in an efficient way

4.      Channel some of the money to cover medical expenses for a probable hip surgery of the Recycling Center Director: Alex Miró

5.      Operation and Administration expenses for 12 months

 

We truly hope that you can help us with your donations this year. Being a father has me thinking more than ever in the way we are using our resources. I am sure we all want the future generations to enjoy this beautiful part of the Earth.

                                                                            HELP US BE PART OF THE SOLUTION!
