Around 2.2 million very lucky people can call the Canary Islands "home". Additionally, the islands receive more than 14 million tourists each year, who also appreciate the magic of our unique paradise. But, if we add up the number of people and the unprecedented levels of consumption, this means we generate a huge amount of waste (mainly plastic)… The obvious choice? Stop buying single-use plastic.

After working in the tourism industry for over 14 years (and perhaps a small midlife crisis), I decided it was time to give back to the islands I've called "home" since 2003. In September 2018, I launched AGÜITA to reduce the levels of single-use plastic generated in our beautiful paradise. What an adventure it has been so far! Thank you for joining me on this journey.
