The "Sol-Solutions "

immediate
way to start our transition to renewable energy and get us out of the

fun doing it.

Community Doing It- a developing list of people broken
down by Western
Colorado Community interested in or practicing solar cooking....find
them, help them,

What is a
"NoGMO"?-possibly one of the most diabolical attacks on
American freedom and
consumer protection is Genetically Modified Foods(Organisms).
Beginning with the
Reagan decision that DNA tampered foods would be ok and didn't need
research or
regulation, we arrive at today where 70% (of what the uninformed) eat
is a GMO...
the only rational conclusion is to "Just Say No...NoGMO"...chapter
and verse
"NoGMO" Research
List-where to go to find websites, books and authorities
who know a
lot more than we do about GMO's we've found worth learning from.

scrutinize
the businesses we buy our foods from...the ones high integrity,
intelligent grocers practice....assembled from regional whizes on the
issue of healthy foods.

Organic Restaurants in Western Colorado- we have seen in the past two years the beginning of true sanity....actual restaurants with healthy atmospheres...no glaring elevator, rock, or country music (along with its shrieking commercials)...and organic, often vegan, menus cooked by informed and conscientious people.
