SMA Green

In the past Twelve Years, since the beginnings of the Permaculture Neighborhood in San Jose de Gracia, San Miguel de Allende has begun to more completely develop its Green Consciousness. Green festivals, numerous natural foods stores, organic farms and municipal governments which not only encourage recycling but are also reforesting and, with the partnership of such organizations as Via Organica are making Green a way of Life and Education at the Municipal Nursery.
Solar Energy is now a thriving business in SMA. Listed in MapaVerde, the website which tracks the Green Movement in SMA, are 8 Solar Energy Businesses. Both the Federal and Municipal Governments are supporting efforts to make SMA and Mexico itself, less dependent on non-renewable resources such as oil.
Here in San Jose de Gracia, the residents are doing their part. In other areas, communities, not just neighborhoods, are dedicated to building and living Green.
