I also like my posts to be "local". Wind power is definately a growing trend. Our LRT (Light Rail Transit) also uses wind power and there is more to come. I love the motto you have there, "Leave No Trace". It says it all. Great article Joanne! I also like my posts to be “local”. Wind power is definately a growing trend.

So much less impact! "Leave no trace" has been used by the Bureau of Land Management for years, and the Boys Scouts have adopted it too. Thanks for visiting Jennifer!

I did not blog today because I was spending a few days backpacking and just arrived home a few hours ago. My friend and I spent 5 days at one campsite and when we left it was dificult to tell we had been there except for a few areas of trodden grass that will quickly rejuvinate. On the 16 mile hike out we picked trash up from several campsites that had left litter. Is it so hard to pick up and take out?! It's funny that you wrote about this because I have been rather bothered by our experience today. I love My Pagosa Springs Colorado, and I want to keep it the way God made it! Thanks for the post, and letting me vent. Great post Joanne, and elequently written. I did not blog today because I was spending a few days backpacking and just arrived home a few hours ago.

Perhaps someone will learn something about "Leave no Trace". I have always heard, "if you pack it in, pack it out". It sounds like you came back with more than you left with, but I gather you had a great time! If you had been here, you would have been snowed on. ;-) I am glad you did vent, Chris.

I can't believe how much trash people throw out. My aunt lived in a rural area and every summer when I went to visit we would walk the roads picking up trash. Makes an impression on children! I think a good trash pick-up day when you are young would make a big difference in the amount we see. Don't get me started on the dirty diapers I see! YUCK! - Ashley Joanne - Such an easy thing to do yet so many people don’t. I can’t believe how much trash people throw out.

I think posts should be oriented toward the locals, too. I did write a post about a subject that might "hit home" for real estate agents all across the country. The topic is: Brazilian teak hardwood floors, slave labor, and the destruction of the rain forest. You can find it at http://snipurl.com/1soah Anything that you can do to help promote awareness of this issue will be deeply appreciated. Keep up your good work. Thank you! Hi, Joanne…
