Share and Voice 6: Going Green in Mexico!

Hey everyone!!
If you know Kaileigh @ Kaileigh's Nature Log and I, I am sure you are sick of hearing about our spring break stories (sorry)! But as much we wanted to forget about school during break, "green" things followed us down there and we still talked about this class and pointed out some environmentally friendly things that Cancun, Mexico does to save money AND our planet!

Here are some things Kaileigh and I found while we were down in Mexico....

*We flew through Sun Country Airlines where we found brochures in the seats telling us how Sun Country is doing their part in helping the environment. Sun Country is one of the "greenest" airlines in the nation. If you can't read the following below, you can learn more about what they are doing by going to this
website.


*We stayed at the Oasis Hotel where we found this little sign in the bathroom! It says "Dear Guest, we kindly invite you to join our environmental awareness campaign." Then it list ways to help the hotel by leaving towels on the floor if you want them washed, hung up if you didn't, and to avoid leaving the sliding door open if the A/C was on. Oasis is considers themselves as an ecologically responsible hotel.

*This shirt is from the Hardrock Cafe! There were shirts like this all over the flea markets.


Hope you got a little taste of Mexico :)
