#plasticfreejuly
We are celebrating a plastic-free July! The Estuario’s responsible solid waste management initiatives, Que no toque el piso ni llegue al agua and Deja una huella limpia en Piñones, advise you on actions you can take to reduce your plastic use. This week: use a reusable cup!
Learn more about these initiatives in https://estuario.org/desechos-acuaticos/.
Los sonidos del estuario
The sounds of the estuary is a project of memory and sound documentation. Part of the creative process consists of three tours, where the everyday sounds of various localities located within the San Juan Bay Estuary and its watershed will be recorded. These recordings, and the experiences embodied in them, will be the basis of a sound map that will be part of Estuario’s Atlas. We still have available spaces for the tours that will take place on July 23 and 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., at the Parque Central in San Juan and the Piñones State Forest in Loíza, respectively.
Sign up for one of the tours today, in https://estuario.org/eventos/.
