No one person has to do it all but if each of us follow our heart and our own inclinations we will find the same things that we can do to create a sustainable future and a healthy environment.

DOING OUR PART

There is growing pressure around the world to try and restore what we, as a civilization, have been destroying and taking advantage of for so many years.  If we all take small steps, we can save this world for generations to come and make it a better place to live.  It is our responsibility to give our children the gifts of nature that they so deserve.

Here at Casa de Celeste Vida we are doing our small part.

1.    In 2009 we constructed a rain collections system.  We are now able to store 10,000 litres of rain water for watering the garden plants.
   

1.    We use only biodegradable and natural cleaners to keep your rooms healthy and fresh.
   

1.    All bathrooms are equipped with low consumption flush  toilets and water saving shower heads.
   

1.   Our washing machine is a low consumption machine and we use phosphate free biodegradable detergents.
   

1.     We compost all fruit and vegetable waste and feed it to the many palms trees and flowering shrubs that we have on the property.
   

1.     We do our best to conserve electricity by using only  energy saving bulbs in all rental suites, public areas and in our own home.
   

1.     Recycling is new to this part of the world.  We work with a local family in the village of Celestun.  We provide them all of our glass, plastic and aluminum.  It provides them with money to help them within their homes.
   

1.     Shopping at and supporting the local markets provide you with healthy choices.  All produce is locally grown without pesticides and herbicides.
