Feature Post CVIS Students Team Up With Las Mujeres de Sayulita To Ban Plastic Bags
February 14, 2019 sayulitablog 0Comment
Las Mujeres de Sayulita is a growing and powerful group of women in the Sayulita community working together to bring environmental awareness and action to our Pueblo Magico. Many stores in the community as well as our neighboring areas such as Punta de Mita are already implementing the “no more plastic bag” idea, but more work is needed in order to spread awareness, and help reduce plastic waste. The Mujeres’ first and recent project as a team was to reduce the use of plastic bags in our community, and it has proven to be a large success. Working in coordination with the 9th grade students at Colegio Costa Verde school, they have helped to reduce the amount of plastic bags used in Sayulita by providing a program for reusable canvas bags, and a plan for how the local stores and tiendas can use them.

February 7, 2019 sayulitablog 0Comment
Mar Plata Restaurant in San Pancho, which first opened its doors in 2005, is known for its interesting fusion of Mexican, Argentinian, and Belgian cuisine served in a unique and rustic setting. With a variety of menu items, from steak and seafood to pasta, and specialty house-made craft cocktails, Mar Plata Restaurant is not what most would expect to find in San Pancho, just minutes away from Sayulita. I ask the head chef, Ramses Manneck, and lead mixologist, Tony Galea, to tell me more about the restaurant & their experiences in the industry.

January 8, 2019 sayulitablog 0Comment
Arriba la mujer. This seems to be the signature phrase for Sayulita’s newest all female environmental action group, “Movimiento de la Mujer por el Medio Ambiente”. The group was created on Facebook by founding member and long-time Sayulita resident Tracie Willis. Because Tracie has lived in Sayulita for 29 years, she has easily seen the way the pueblo has changed and the way the environment has negatively been impacted. Tracie says, “I’ve been waiting many years for this generation of local women to come of age…this is a big movement, the first of its kind.” So what exactly is this group’s purpose and mission?
