SIAN KA´AN

SIAN KA´AN

In the language of the Mayan peoples who once inhabited this region, Sian Ka'an means 'Origin of the Sky'. Located on the east coast of the Yucatán peninsula, this biosphere reserve contains tropical forests, mangroves and marshes, as well as a large marine section intersected by a barrier reef. It provides a... habitat for a remarkably rich flora and a fauna comprising more than 300 species of birds, as well as a large number of the region's characteristic terrestrial vertebrates, which cohabit in the diverse environment formed by its complex hydrological system.- UNESCO

Preheating
If you're boiling, roasting, or baking a dish that will cook for an hour or more, don't bother preheating your oven. Even for breads and cakes, never preheat for longer than 10 min. If you reduce the amount of time your oven is on by one hour per year, you'll save an average of two kw hours of energy.

Restaurants
Take home what you don´t eat, and ask for a little packaging as possible. Use it for your dog or as a compost for your lawn or garden. This reduces food scraps and the disposal costs that restaurants bear.
