From Rio Grande Digital - Juárez has been named Mexico’s cleanest city by the Azteca Foundation, according to a city news release and various Juárez media reports. Mayor Héctor “Teto” Murguía traveled last week to Mexico City to collect the award given by the philanthropic branch of the TV Azteca national television network. Juárez was chosen for the award based on a number of factors, including its ongoing efforts to keep city streets free of old tires and other debris, a new biogas plant that went into operation this year at the city landfil, its facility for shredding and recycling old tires, its handling of hazardous waste, measurement of various pollutant levels and other things. In selecting Juárez for the award, the foundation documented the projects through videos, photographs, interviews, testimonials and environmental monitoring data. The national campaign is called “Limpiemos Nuestro México,” or “We Clean Up Our Mexico.” Read more
