Thanks to the San Juan Makers Guild for hosting this key event! Come to our panel discussion at Oddfellows on Saturday morning (4/22) – OPALCO will host pastries and coffee at 9am to get ready for a lively discussion at 10. See you there!
It’s a sign of how co-opted the “environmental” movement has become when Earth Day is about technology rather than, you know, the actual Earth. Truly sad to see this.
