Dear friends,
I am a diving intructor in Cozumel, I am deeply distressed as the goverment is planning erecting 114 power producing wind mills on the east side of the island to feed the resorts in the riviera maya.
Those windmills, the roads needed to service them and the general infrastructure needed will destroy 20% of the jungles of our island.
These mills impliy the building about 120 miles of highway, and destroying 6000 hectares (roughly 6000 football fields).
The government has tried to keep this quiet, but hasn´t been able to.
We are trying to spread the word, we need all the help we can as the erection of those mills will destroy this paradise.
The habitat for hundreds of endemic species will be anihiliated, the cave water system will be disrupted by the contruction of the foundations for the mills.
PLEASE!! spread the word as this paradise may be lost in the very near future.

It´s in Spanish, but you might get an idea,
let´s save this paradise, let´s save that island that we love.
thank you, my fellow divers,
Alex
