Ingresando a la nota lo contamos: el proyecto promueve el desarrollo local en forma sostenible. La madera es proveniente de la comunidad forestal de Uaxactún y pone en valor la importancia del manejo sostenible y el impacto positivo que genera en la conservación de los bosques

Traffic crashes are the #1 global killer of kids and young adults aged 5-29 worldwide—even more than violence, drugs or disease. We need to lead by design and pave the road ahead with new possibilities. forbes.com/sites/tanyamohn/2…

“We do not live on this planet alone," Lewis reminds us. "It is not ours to hoard, waste, or abuse. It is our responsibility to leave this world a little more clean and a little more peaceful for all who must inhabit it for generations to come.”
