ISLA CONTOY

CONTOY Island


Enjoy an unforgettable experience crossing the majestic Caribbean Sea to get to a place few have had the privilege to discover: Isla Contoy.
This unspoilt island, which measures barely 5.2 miles long and only 70 ft. at its narrowest point, is located about 45 minutes north of Isla Mujeres, on one end of t...he second largest coral reef in the world. Contoy is famous for its flora and fauna, specially for its birds of which more than 90 species are considered either resident or migratory, turning the island into a delight for people that like to do birdwatching.

EcoCancunTips

Lipstick.Given than the average woman may inadvertently ingest mora than 4 punds of lipstick in her lifetime, you´ll want to look for lip color made from plant-derived ingredients instead of from synthetic oils, paraffin waxes, and toxic coal tar dyes (look for FD&C or D&C followed by a color and number).... If one in five lipstick wearers began demanding plant-based options, total petroleum product consumption would decrease by more than 825,000 pounds per year.
Pet beds. The next time your canine or feline friend needs a new bed, look for one that is filled with recycled fiber. If one in every 20 dog owners purchased a bed made from recycled materials, the fiber savings would total nearly 3,200 tons and fill 400 grabage trucks.
FISH TANKS. When you clean your fish tank, remove only one-third to one half of the water and use it as a nutrient-rich solution for house and outdoor plants. You´ll conserve water and eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers. If every fish owner adopted this habit, the freshwater saved annually would ...be enough to fill 24 ounce bottles for each of the 1.2 billion people in the world without access to safe drinking water.

EcoCancunTips

*Water bottles. Bring your own reusable water bottle filled with filtered water from home everytime you go to the gym. You could save an average of $200 usd per year as well as 14 pounds of plastic.

*Share With Friends. Share things like books, magazines, movies, games, and newspapers between friends and neighbors.

*Replace Disposables: Wherever possible, replace disposable products with reusable ones i.e., razor, food storage, batteries, ink cartridges (buy refill ink), coffee filters, furnace or air conditioner filters, etc.

*Deodorant. When you buy deodorant (there are organic options), try to avoid antiperspirants, which use aluminium salts to seal up to your pores. In addition to being a potential health toxin, aluminum takes a tremendous amount of energy to mine. If you buy one stick of aluminum-free deodorant, the energy sabed could power your laptop for 30 min!!!

*Sponges. Instead of buying a synthetic nylon sponge, consider using a completely natural and biodegradable loofah or a plain reusable washcloth. Since nylon is made from petroleum and can´t be recycled, you´ll conserve the energy used to make it, as well as the environmental cost of disposing of it.

Need airport shuttle transportation?
