2. ExotiKite Kiteboarding Wind Report | December 13-December 19 | This past week, winds were light and variable.  Early week, clouds rolled in holding stronger winds at bay.  Light breezes allowed more experienced foilboarders to get on the water, but it was too light for many kiteboarders.  Winds remained light until Saturday as they picked up to 18-20mph, even sending sand flying down the beach in some of the more powerful gusts.  This upcoming Christmas week the set up is very much the same with the forecast calling for clouds and light winds early week.  Wednesday/Thursday look like the best days to get on the water with forecasted winds in the high teens.  There is still time to gift a kiteboarding lesson to the wind enthusiast in your life!  Contact info@exotikite.com or +1 541 380 0948 for details. Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

5. SEVEN one-ton ‘big bags’ full of crushed plastics. ONE of aluminum cans, ONE of metal cans. A 14-foot flatbed trailer nearly full with cardboard. You rock for recycling! It’s amazing what our Los Barriles and East Cape community is keeping out of the landfill and sending to be recycled and reused right here in Mexico. Thank you to the more than 60 homes that participated in December’s ‘First Thursday’ recycling day.
    
   A few new things to share as separating plastics is a moving target: 1) Milk and milky style containers 2) clear plastics 3) colored plastics and lids. You decide – separate at home, or separate here, but we are committed to DIY recycling on collection day. Cardboard? Broken down and tied, or tie it here, but bring it broken down. Hard Styrofoam from packing materials? We take that. We don’t take glass. And as always, the ‘bible’ for recycling: please, rinse your products. A nearly empty jar of peanut butter with the lid on it is gross. Give it to the dog to clean up.  If not, soak it in water before recycling. Crush, crush, crush. Good idea? if you crush after rinsing, your products take up less space in your containers. 
    
   Not yet in the recycling swing of things? We are here for you! Please join us. Consider that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the ocean each year. Don’t use single serve plastic water bottles (seriously, ever). Order “Agua de la Casa” if you are at a restaurant. Buy a Soda Stream and steer away from the constant use of Topo Chico bottles. Tetra pack milk and juice containers are not recyclable. But, their little plastic lids are. Pop them off with your thumb and recycle that part.  
    
   $100 pesos per month per family/household donation is recommended to help our nonprofit pay for the shipping of our products to La Paz to be recycled. All other money supports our children’s environmental summer camp. Friends, this is our home planet. We must protect it.
