Another PSA from the La Paz Gringos newsletter:
Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know we are only 20 days
from launching the Chatarra (junk) raft, a 16 foot by 8 foot raft made
in San Felipe Baja of re-used materials and plastic bottles. The
Chatarra will leave San Felipe Malecon on July 1, at 10AM on a journey
down the Sea of Cortez to La Paz, Baja California Sur. The journey is
estimated to take between 30 and 40 days, with a early August arrival in
La Paz.
The Chatarra is a plastic waste awareness project geared towards kids.
The idea is to capture their attention and to provide education and fun
information on the damage of littering and trashing Baja and the fun and
important things kids (and their families) can do to reuse, reduce, and
recycle.
The raft trip is only the kick off of a on-going Baja clean project of
the Baja Good Life Club. In addition to providing information the
project will support beach clean up groups and activities through the
Baja, and will also include guided eco-trips, for example in 2014 the
project hopes to clean the graffiti off the rocks of Catavina.
Please support the project.
