Working Together for a Greener Banderas Bay

Many individuals fall in love with Mexico after a vacation. It’s a gorgeous country boasting some of the world’s best beaches, delicious cuisine, and rich culture. Many vacationers visit Mexico and decide they want to own a second home at the beach. If you invest in a beachfront residence at Villa La Estancia in Riviera Nayarit, you will have a comfortable and attractive oasis. It’s the perfect place to create unforgettable moments with your loved ones. You may have noticed that there is a trash issue in Mexico, but things are looking up in Banderas Bay thanks to various PV trash campaigns. Keep reading below to learn more about the positive effects of working together for a greener Banderas Bay.

Working Together for a Greener Banderas Bay

Many years ago, it was common practice to throw away broken or unwanted items into your backyard or in the woods. However, at that time products were typically made of biodegradable wood or clay. However, plastics were introduced that have seriously negative effects on the environment. Many of the convenience items we use today didn’t exist years ago including fast food bags and wrappers, soda cans, soda bottles, plastic bottles and containers, and more. These items are polluting our environment now and for hundreds of years in the future. To reduce the environmental impact of our choices, we must recycle as much as possible and reduce the use of these non-biodegradable items.

  • PV Residents Are Making Strides

Some residents of Puerto Vallarta have decided to take action to help reduce the area’s litter issues. For starters, American expat John Benus started a trash campaign called the “War Against Litter that has been helpful for the community. Previously, he ran a successful trash campaign in Talpa de Allende. When he lived in the State, he also worked on the Adopt a Highway campaign in California. That program was very successful in cleaning up highways and roads and is still utilized today.

  • Limpia Tu Barrio Trash Campaign Results

Also, British expat Tania Gedmintas started the Limpia Tu Barrio trash campaign, which in English means “Clean Your Neighborhood”. She was inspired to carry an empty bag during neighborhood walks with her children. Along their way, they would pick up trash and later post pictures on social media showing how much they collected. Her efforts motivated others to do the same. Today, regular trash cleanups are held in various neighborhoods throughout the region where people are working together for a greener Banderas Bay. As a result, Puerto Vallarta and surrounding neighborhoods in the area are much cleaner due to her positive influence.

Move to Mexico? 2022 Info

Are you considering a move to Mexico? Now that 2022 is here, many foreigners are seeing the value in moving down south to sunny Mexico. With the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 crisis, the world has taken a pause. Many businesses and families have been adversely affected both financially and healthwise. As we regroup and figure out where to go from here, many people have been able to transition to remote jobs to support recommended social distancing. The bonus has allowed people to have more flexibility so they can move to Mexico. At Villa La Estancia, we offer luxury beachfront residences for individuals who want to live at the beach in Riviera Nayarit or Cabo. There, people are able to enjoy a higher quality of life on a budget. Read more below about why you should consider a move to Mexico.

Perfect Weather

For starters, Mexico has what many people consider perfect weather. Depending on where you live, most coastal towns enjoy pleasant warm weather all year long. Plus, being able to be outdoors is especially attractive right now since the risk of transmitting the coronavirus is diminished when outside. Mexico has miles of beautiful beaches and rivers that make it easy to socially distance and enjoy being outside at the same time. The country’s natural beauty and excellent climate make it a great place to buy a second home or vacation home. Individuals that move to Mexico love having a second home or retirement home in paradise, especially with the challenges we are currently facing worldwide due to the COVID pandemic.

Vacation Home in Mexico

Relaxed Beachfront Lifestyle

Another reason why people love Mexico is for its laid back lifestyle. The Mexican people are friendly and welcoming to outsiders. Plus, they prioritize quality family time as opposed to material possessions. In today’s hectic world, we often waste precious moments on work instead of creating wonderful moments with our loved ones. To enjoy a more peaceful life, a relaxing vacation home in Mexico makes it easier. Mexico’s laid back lifestyle will support relaxation and allow you to channel your energies into where it matters most. There is no price tag on how an evening stroll on the beach can soothe the mind, body and soul.

Affordable Cost of Living

When compared with other countries, Mexico offers homeowners an affordable cost of living. In 2022, real estate, healthcare, groceries, and utilities can be quite expensive. However, Mexico offers people the chance to live a good life while spending less. For example, healthcare costs are quite inexpensive when compared to the United States. Mexico has excellent private hospitals and qualified doctors. In addition, prescriptions cost significantly less, too. Also, a trip to the grocery and utility bills are very affordable. The country has plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available throughout the year. If you want to buy beachfront real estate, you can buy a beachfront home in Mexico for a fraction of the cost that you would pay back at home. Villa La Estancia is a top choice for luxury beachfront real estate. Plus, they also offer full and fractional ownership options to qualified applicants.

Small Town Charm & Modern Conveniences

In 2022, Mexico is able to offer expats a chance to enjoy small town charm and modern conveniences at the same time. Mexico has a rich heritage and culture that is hard to beat. They have ancient Mayan ruins that tell a story about the country’s unique and complicated past. In addition, they have all the modern conveniences that people want. There is world class shopping, excellent restaurants, upscale galleries, golf courses and so much more. Plus, the food is simply phenomenal. Whether you want cheap street tacos or International cuisine, you can find it all in Mexico.
