January 27 Nutritionist Day
Hoy 27 de Enero. Día del Nutriólogo.
An adopted islander invites you to have a better world. Learn Roul's story....
Un isleño por adopción que invita a tener un mundo mejor.
Conoce la historia de Roul.
This is both an expression of gratitude to "Roul Wattis" and an anti littering message. It says...If you live in Isla Mujeres, you have seen him walking the streets, especially all of Rueda Medina, picking up ~700 cigarette butts daily. He is from North Carolina, and his adopted home is Isla Mujeres, where he has lived for over a year. He has become an islander because of his decisions and convictions. He is a person who would be welcome anywhere in the world and we welcome him to Isla Mujeres. After he fell in love with this paradise, he chose to move here and become a part of the community. He lives in La Gloria, one of the most populated colonias of the island, where his neighbors know him & have befriended him and he is another resident of the town.
Early in the mornings, during his walks, he would see the street cleaners working, but unfortunately, there are some people who throw trash and cigarette butts into the streets. Raol decided to do his part by picking up cigarette butts from the streets of the island, as his contribution to the beauty and bounty of the island.
"I like how the image of Isla Mujeres has improved," said Raul, and he added, "I invite everyone to do their part and not litter, and in this way, to live in a better place, which is environmentally friendly."
This is Roul, an adopted Isleño, who from this piece of land sends a message to the world:
"We can and should do something to live in harmony with the world we inhabit"
