WHY MEXICO? Climate Change Conference COP16

ECOTIP: If you subscribe to your favorite magazines instead of buying them from a newsstand, you'll get the convenience of delivery and will save 75 percent or more off the newsstand price. Sixty percent of most magazines at the newsstand aren't sold and have to be hauled off to the trash dump- a waste of time, money, and energy.

ECOTIP: Download tunes instead of purchasing them at the store. The average price of CD is about $ 15 dlls., whereas an album download is only about $10 dlls. Each month, more than 45 tons of CD's become obsolete- outdated or unwanted- and end up in landfills.

ECOTIP: Lawn Care
Cut your grass so it´s two inches high, and leave the clippings on the lawn. You´ll spend less time mowing and raking, and you won´t have to water your lawn as much. Forty percent of water in summer is allocated to outdoor usage when rates are highest. Also, less lawn care usually means using fewer chemicals that will leach into runoff water and damage local fish and bird habitats.

Dry Cleaning


If you must use dry cleaners, try to go less frequently. You will not only save on drive time and fuel, you´ll save plastic. Dry cleaners bunch items together into plastic garment bags, so the more items you bring at once, the better.

Better yet: Request no plastic garment bags, and return your hang...ers to the dry cleaners. You can also try eco-friendly dry cleaners.

DEATH TRADITIONS IN MEXICO Día de muertos

DEATH TRADITIONS IN MEXICO Día de muertos

We, in Mexico, celebrate Death on November 1st and 2nd every year. The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico can be traced back to the indigenous cultures. Rituals celebrating the deaths of ancestors have been observed by these civilizations perhaps for as long as 2,500–3,000 y...ears

Due to occurring shortly after Halloween, the Day of the Dead is sometimes thought to be a similar holiday, although the two are celebrated differently.
