I got to see active citizenship that would make anyone proud. The town of Bernal was carrying out a clean up campaign in the rain on a Sunday and they were psyched. Residents and tourists who climb or admire the huge monolith, la Peña de Bernal, picked up trash, separated out the plastic, cardboard and glass to recycle and held a ceremony in the main entrance to celebrate the job well done. I loved the poster to call everyone to join in. What can you do for your town?
