Cancun going green


In preparation for the World Ecology Congress to be held in Cancun in December, the resort area has launched a program that would eliminate 50 percent of all emissions by 2013. Among the proposals: switch to only fluorescent light bulbs, turn off computers when not in use, separate trash into organic and non-organic containers and encourage tourists to use public transportation.
