Surviving Mexico City’s Water Crisis: Alina’s Story
Episode 56
Thursday, 6 March, 2025
What happens when an entire city runs out of water? In this eye-opening episode, 20-year-old Mexico City native Alina Feldman shares what it’s like to live under the looming threat of “Day Zero”—the moment when the taps run dry. The crisis is so severe that desperation has led to fights and even kidnappings over water. Alina exposes the unequal burden of the crisis and the government’s failure to act. She raises a critical question: Should the government prioritize environmental issues, or are there more immediate concerns that demand attention? She also highlights a grassroots organization, founded within Mexico City's Jewish community, that is stepping in where the government has fallen short. Climate change isn’t a distant threat—it’s already at our doorstep. Alina’s story is a stark reminder that crisis can strike when we least expect it. As you listen, you’ll realize just how unprepared we all might be. Her story isn’t just a warning—it’s a call to action before it’s too late.
