San Miguel PEN Presents... The Second Talk in the 2025 Winter Series!
San Miguel faces an urgent water crisis that affects us all. Our main source of water, the aquifer, is running low. What’s left is polluted with dangerous chemicals.
Join us on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, to hear Dylan Terrell shed light on how decades of aquifer depletion and contamination have led us to this critical point. Dylan will explore the challenges we face, the innovative clean water solutions his organization, Caminos de Agua, is putting into place, and what we can do to secure a future with safe, clean water for San Miguel and beyond.
Tickets also available at:
Aurora Books, Calzada de la Aurora 48A, Tue-Sat 10AM-6PM.
At Camino Silvestre, Correo 43, Mon & Wed-Sat 9am-6pm, Sun 10am-4pm.
Or at the door, 350 Pesos or $20 US.
