Winter is here?

Well the weather just continues to be strange! We have now gotten two snowstorms this september, with another one on the way today. I'm paranoid because my ski sale to benefit ORE and Global Cooling is this Saturdaty, and there is a 30% chance of snow! ah well, that is life in the mountains.

The Town of Crested Butte is getting closer this week to pass my and ORE's recommendations for prescriptive green building products (formaldehyde free subfloo and finishes that do not cause cancer in the state of California), blower door tests for new construction and remodels, efficient wood stoves, outdoor heating REMP requirements (must use alternative energy or pay in lieu), LEED certification for large town buildings, and a 50% CFL lightbulb requirement.

Despite this gain and a final Colorado Supreme Ruling against the Union Park Water Diversion Project, our town is changing all too rapidly for my liking. There is a new greed undercurrent pervasive here. And so many out of town and country construction workers imported (around 1000).....

Well, it happens to everyone eventually, and, well, i moved here 17 years ago, so i am part of the problem as well.....
