Profile Information
- What does 'sustainability' mean to you?
- Living well without detracting from the ability of future generations to live well by protecting and supporting healthy land, water, wildlife and communities.
- What do you do to try and live green and what would you like to learn more about?
- I live in the country in a stick-built home made with thermal windows and top insulation and situated for solar gain. I don't have to use lights most of the day. My daughter and I try to conserve water, recycle, etc.
What I really is need is a big truck converted to run on greasel and would like to learn how to do that. Also still dream of building a strawbale/adobe off grid home - a little jewel box of a house, comfortable and self-sustaining.
- What concerns you most about the issues facing the environment, whether locally or globally?
- Locally - that NNM has all the ingredients to create a model, self-sustaining region but lacks the right social/economic structure to make it happen. Too many hardworking people can't afford to live decently in SF, meaning they spend all their time trying to pay bills instead of having time to learn about living lighter on the planet.
Globally - that for all our human savvy (space exploration, bigger weapons, faster computers) we still haven't figure out how to get along well enough to feed everyone, house everyone and stop killing each other. So essentially, we haven't progressed a whole lot further from where we were 4,000 years ago.

It's World Toilet Day, so hug your toilet and be thankful for your wastewater treatment guys!
More later today about Judge Jerald Valentine's decision yesterday in the Lower Rio Grande adjudication, after I've had a chance to read through the latest. All I know is Scott Boyd was practically shouting for joy. Perhaps he sees some light at the end of his families more than 100-year battle with the feds over their RG water… Continue

Farmland to urban growth
In particular I like this quote: "We don't want to get into a situation of saying 'My use is better than yours,' " said Tom Davis, general manager of the Yuma County Water Users Association. "But there needs to be a better way than just whoever has the most money gets the most water."
Arizona's cities, along with Las Vegas, Nev and sou… Continue

Right of Thirst
It is gorgeous along the Santa Fe River trail right now with the cottonwoods all golden. Some host the largest leaves I have ever seen on cottonwoods, perhaps their size boosted by a long wet summer thanks to the constant trickle of water the city allowed down the channel.
Quite by accident I came across an interesting online paper by a University of Washington anthropology professor Devon G. Pena. Called the "… Continue
