TACKLING THE GARBAGE

Video shot in San Blas, a fishing village and tourist destination on the Pacific coast of Mexico (Nayarit State). It tells the story of a massive cleanup of litter around the beaches of this area, done in May 2009, spearheaded by the local volunteer lifeguards who were helped by an American working for SEMARNAT (through Peace Corps) to get some funds via the Federal Temporary Employment Program. SEMARNAT is the Mexican Ministry for the Environment and Natural Resources.
