Approximately five tons of solid waste is brought into the Sumidero Canyon every day. 90% is PET and other types of plastics. Even microwaves and cars have been found at the bottom of the river. According to the UNESCO , if the contamination continues, by 2025 the damage will be irreversible for this natural wonder located in the state of Chiapas , which by the way, is the deepest natural canyon in Mexico.
During this year's Campus Party , which was held in Guadalajara , the video platform Twitch presented its collaboration with the Mexican association Gaming Green , specialized in ecology and video games. The purpose: to raise donations for the cleaning of the Sumidero Canyon.

The economic goal that is expected to be collected is divided into three possible scenarios . If they raise USD$30.000 , they will be used to clean the banks of the river in all their extension; with USD$130.000, the banks and the complete surface of the river will be cleaned; and with USD$320.000 , the complete river will be cleaned, including extraction of waste from the bottom.
To achieve the goals, a campaign is underway at Twitch, which began on July 17 and ends on July 31 . You can find it on the
channel. Donations can be made directly through this link : https://twitch.streamlabs.com/gaminggreen16
