Sustainability workshop, Nov. 6-12, 2006

Centro Ecológico Akumal (CEA) offers a sustainability workshop, November 6 – 12, in Akumal, Mexico, one of the most beautiful spots along the Mexican Caribbean.

The course will cover alternative technologies for the production of energy, the treatment of wastewater, and the disposal of solid waste. See all the details at Sustainability Workshop.

Akumal is as close to paradise as I’ve ever experienced. The shallow, crystal-clear water and sandy beach of Akumal Bay define tropical perfection. Shops for renting snorkel and dive gear are right on the beach. The small, but stunning, Tulum ruins hug the sea 10 minutes south of Akumal, and the jungles hide many, many small sites that you can visit on your own or with a guide. Additionally, local guides can lead exceptional nature walks, and CEA staff give entertaining and educational presentations nightly.
