We all share one home... the Earth. It is time to remember and reconnect with the Earth. We have been destroying land for agriculture, resources and our own needs more quickly in the last fifty years than ever before. It is time to work together to preserve and protect what has not been lost. Inchanted Journeys has been working to buy and preserve land here in Guatemala and a donation from the Festival of Consciousness will go towards supporting their efforts! They offer a Cloud Forest Eco Adventure once a year if you would like to see the beauty of the forest for yourself!
Still my dream for San Marcos... Setting up a No Waste Grocery Store In a country and a world filled with plastic and garbage from packaging, we would like to reduce our waste contribution to the planet! It is time to change and eliminate the use of plastic bags and start reusing and recycling jars, containers and cloth bags when purchasing food. Everyone is responsible for doing their part to help protect the earth and we would like to collaborate with a local grocery store to begin minimizing and eliminating waste.
Plastic constitutes approximately 90 percent of all trash floating on the ocean’s surface, with 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile.
