The Rainbow Warrior, flagship of the environmental organization Greenpeace, will visit Mexico over the next couple of months to show the public alternatives for building a more sustainable future.

According to the executive director of Greenpeace Mexico, Femke Bartels, the itinerary of the ship includes the first tour of the Pacific Ocean from January 7th to the 19th, which will pass through the ports of Mazatlan, Sinaloa State, Puerto Vallarta, and Acapulco.

From February 15th to the 23rd, the Rainbow Warrior will sail into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean to dock at the port of Cozumel, Quintana Roo, and end its journey in the port of Veracruz.

Adriana Lopez, volunteer coordinator, said the boat will take part in various activities, all with the goal of teaching the interested public alternatives that will help to protect our natural resources while showing the potential of renewable energy sources in combating climate change.

At the same time, Bartels said that structural reforms recently adopted in Mexico represent a challenge for all sectors - mainly for environment. She went on to say that, as the second largest economy in Latin America, Mexico must take care not to push development without regard to the environment.

The name of the Greenpeace ship is inspired by a prophecy of the North American Indians - according to which there will come a time when the birds fall, the forest animals die, the sea blackens, and then men of all races and peoples join as rainbow warriors to fight against the destruction of the earth.
