Mexico is Doing Good Green things!
As well as being mostly plant-based, Mexico (a large country in central American that borders the USA) is also home to a stunning coastline (including the world’s second-largest coral reef), and at the forefront of protecting its country from deforestation, air pollution and lack of clean water.
Home to over 200,000 species of wildlife and plants, there is a real urgency now. Local legislators are upping their game, with moves to ban over-tourism, which is harming marine life (snorkelling alongside whale sharks etc).
And a ban is imminent on performing dolphin shows, something that their friends over the border in the USA could learn from.
