10 Eco Friendly Tips to Protect the Paradise of Santa Teresa

1. Zero Waste on the Beach

Not only pick up your own trash, but also any you find around you. Imagine the beauty of a completely clean beach, without waste polluting the sand and sea. Every small effort counts to achieve this goal.

2. Reduce Your Plastic Footprint

Single use plastics are a threat to our ecosystem. By using reusable alternatives, such as cloth bags and water bottles, you contribute to reducing plastic pollution and protect marine life from microplastics.

3. Respect Natural Beauty

Shells, stones, and seashells are part of a delicate ecosystem. Leaving them where they are allows them to continue their natural function and allows others to enjoy their beauty without disturbing the balance.

4. Protect Marine Life

Choose eco-friendly and biodegradable sunscreen! Corals and marine life are very sensitive to the chemicals found in many conventional sunscreens. An eco-friendly sunscreen protects your skin and the environment. Also, remember that garbage in the sea seriously affects marine animals, so let's avoid leaving waste near the water.

5. Observe Wildlife Respectfully

Observe wild animals from a safe distance, without feeding or disturbing them. This way, you guarantee their well-being and can enjoy their natural behavior without causing them stress.

6. Respect Local Flora and Stay on Trails

The native vegetation of Santa Teresa is unique and fragile. By avoiding picking plants or flowers, and by staying on established trails, you contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the natural beauty of the area. Concentrating traffic in designated areas protects sensitive vegetation from trampling and erosion.

7. Support Eco-Friendly Businesses

By choosing hotels, restaurants, and businesses committed to sustainability, you encourage responsible practices and contribute to more conscious and environmentally friendly tourism.

8. Participate in Beach Cleanups and Spread the Word

Join beach cleanup initiatives. We will be announcing waste collection campaigns on Info Santa Teresa's Instagram stories, so you can join and be part of the solution! Share your experience on social media to inspire others. Collective action can generate a significant positive impact.

9. Dispose of Your Waste Properly

It is essential to deposit your waste in the corresponding containers. Remember that garbage collection passes through these points, so depositing your waste correctly facilitates the process and prevents garbage from being thrown or left in inappropriate places.

10. Spread Eco-Consciousness
