Speaking, COBAEJ student Vania Daniela pointed out that “we proudly support the cleaning of our beaches, because we want to encourage the responsible participation of all citizens and help in the ecological problems that Puerto Vallarta is experiencing. Today we are starting the cleaning of the following beaches: Camarones, Tranquila, Las Glorias, Los Tules, Boca de Tomates, Holiday Inn, and the Paso del Guayabo and Pitillal rivers”, expressing that their colleagues are already carrying out other actions as a rescue team of green areas, product recycling, reforestation, health days, among others.
