You’ve got a few days left to get your annual National Parks pass without Trump’s face on it.

Boulder has cut greenhouse gas emissions nearly in half since 2005 New city data show steady progress toward climate goals, but keeping up the pace will be increasingly difficult.

Keys for our residential clients remain 1) low-carbon energy conservation, 2) efficient mechanical systems and ongoing electrification, 3) renewable energy sources, and 4) EV charging, mode shift to more walking and biking. It's routine for our projects to create more electricity than they use.

Well put, John Tayer. Seems like the solution lies between the cops arresting a guy who needs help and simply removing the bench so he has to sit somewhere else…

Worth a quick read.
