When I was in El Nido I was walking on the beach in the morning. I saw some people picking plastics and other things from the beach and digging holes in the sand, where they were putting the organic disposals. I think it is a brilliant way to clean the beach because you remove the non organic disposals and you make the organic disposals complete the natural cycle again coming back to the nature. And as a parallel effect, you keep the beach in clean conditions for the tourism. This is eco-tourism!
Cuando estuve en El Nido estuve caminando en la playa un día por la mañana. Identifiqué algunas personas recogiendo plásticos y otros residuos y haciendo unos agujeros en la arena donde depositaban los residuos orgánicos. Creo que es una manera inteligente de limpiar la playa porque elimina los residuos inorgánicos y permites que los orgánicos completen su ciclo natural volviendo a la naturaleza. Y además mantienes la playa limpia para el turismo. Esto es ecoturismo!
Today I am posting a video where we can see how locals fish on the beach with a handmade net. Kids are helping their fathers to pick up the fishes and learn about how to do it. They were explaining me that they do not come every day. Just sometimes, in this way they let the fishes reproduce again. This is sustainability.
Para hoy os he preparado un video donde los locales pescan en la playa con una red artesanal. Los niños ayudan a sus padres recogiendo los peces y aprenden el arte de la pesca. Estuvieron explicándome que no vienen todos los días, solamente de vez en cuando. De esta manera, dejan a los peces recuperarse y reproducirse de nuevo. Eso es sostenibilidad.

This post is for those people that are willing to change our world but they do not know to do it.
Everyone that is worried about something, try to find a solution. Depending on the size of the problem we are able to find a solution in a faster way or slower way. However, for global problems as pollution on earth, animal extinction, war, famine, people usually think that they cannot do anything and they give it up... They consider that the problem is on hands of others and they cannot do anything for help.
This is the first, and most common mistake that human makes.
It is true that we cannot eradicate the famine in one night, or that we cannot remove all pollutant gases from our sky in one week... but our daily actions turn into a world effect.
Think about it. Imagine that you are in the beach, and you see a plastic bottle in the sand. You have two options: - Not pick it up: You did not throw the bottle, and it is not your work. Why should you pick it up? - Pick it up: Someone unconsciously threw it, but this is your planet, your house and you know that this bottle should not be there.
The action you choose has an immediate effect in the world. You probably never thought about it. Look : - If you do not pick it up, the bottle will be there, probably it will go to the sea and it will take around 50 years for degradation. In this process, there is a high percentage of probability that fishes, birds and other animals (even humans) were affected for it.
- On the other hand, if you choose the second option the effect is completely different. This bottle will be probably recycle and reused after a long process. No animals will be affected, the ocean will be a little bit cleaner and the most important thing:If only one person, only one... see what you did and realize that it is the correct choice, next time will not be only one bottle but two. You implement an idea in someone else, this is what makes our daily actions turn into a world effect.
The power is inside us, everyone can help. Do not forget it.
