Mexico, Coca-Cola, Potable Water and Diabetes

So simple to do, but somehow, I never thought of that Tiny. Thanks for that very important little tip, that I had not thought of

Interesting. I live at the top of Juarez in Ajijic. And above and on one side of my house are the woods that go up the mountain. A couple of days ago, I noticed that someone had pounded a pipe into the side of an exterior wall of mine next to a trail leading up into the mountain.

Guess what? Now some folks rather than simply throwing garbage into the streets are filling a small shopping bag  that was placed on the pipe. Maybe I can do my part by placing an empty bag on the pipe, should the full bag be taken away.

I am posting this in the Mexico General section because this idea might be used anywhere not just lakeside.

A good gesture by a well-meaning person. But if there is anything that smells like food in that bag, dogs, other animals and the crows will rip it up and strew it about in short order. What people need to be willing to do if the planet is ever going to get a handle on the garbage problem, is pack out whatever garbage they packed in, and dispose of it responsibly.

Dream on and not do anything.
