Clean streams for Coyoacán: restoring Lotus Beach
Help us clean and replant Lotus Beach before the July planting window closes.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico742 views
Lotus Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 85 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 61 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $950 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $510
• Tools and protective gear: $135
• Waste removal and skip hire: $240
• Signage and educational materials: $65
I hope life is good to you.

take care. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.
Thanks for sharing this. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
this could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal
