Geroge Monbiot says use words like nature, wildlife, life, beauty, awe of nature, "the silence when we watch wild animals",living planet, natural world, places of natural wonder, and ecocide instead of colorless economic terms. This is because certain words trigger responses.

Boulder voters pushed forward to continue to progress towards a local, renewable electric utility! All the volunteers's hard work is paying off. Despite a snowstorm that made get-out -the vote efforts more difficult, dark money violating the spirit of the campaign finance law, the self-interest of cable companies that want to avoid competition by public utilities that can offer superfast and cheap public broadband, heavy-anti slant to the new in the Daily Camera reporting and editorials, It looks like the forces for a local, transparent, resilient municipal electric utility are winning. Last night we were behind by 2,000 votes at first. Late we were only behind by 1,000 votes. This noon we are ahead by 450 votes. Some volunteers have been tabling, canvasing, phoning, writing letters to the editors an writing guest editorials for for months. Kudos to the students at New Era; the activists at Empower Our Future, 3560 Colorado, and Clean Energy Action; the Sierra Club; the Boulder Weekly reporters; and the pro-muni campaigns for Mary Young, Sam Weaver, Mirabai Nagle, Cindy Carlisle, JillGrano, and John Gerstle, All five of the winning city council candidates supported the municipal local utility!
Great Bat Article- http://www.reporterherald.com/lifestyles/recreation/ci_31402623/benefits-bats-stretch-from-bugs-tequila-cashews . Bats pollinate 500 plant species, including avocado, agave, coconut, papaya, guava, mango, and banana. They spread seeds for almonds, cashews and mangoes. They eat lots of insects, protecting crops including coffee, beans, rice walnuts, cotton, and strawberries. The article mentions that some bats migrate and some hibernate. I enjoy watching bats swoop over me eating insects while I hike along Boulder Creek of come down one of the foothills in the twilight.
New book mentions how sea level may rise much faster than forecast. Also, water, sewage, health, work, and electrical systems fail during flooding. https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3452-sinking-feelings-of-glaciers-zombies-and-catastrophic-affect
I relish this guided tour, where arborists show us the trees on the CU campus. They tell us about the different trees, their history, and health. |

On Oct. 7 about 50 hopeful persons gathered about 2 hours north of Denver at this silo that has a nuclear weapon tipped missile. They sang and prayed. They were pleased that the Nobel Peace Prize went to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons for their success in getting a UN treaty to ban nuclear weapons. The US and Russia have about 1,800 such missiles set at launch-on-warning. There are 49 such missiles in Colorado and another 401 in Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Montana.
