SUMMARY:Green Business Roundtable: River of Lost Souls
DESCRIPTION:Green Business Roundtable:\nRiver of Lost Souls\nThe Science\, Politics\, and Greed Behind the Gold King Mine Disaster\nJonathan Thompson\, Author\, Journalist and Editor \nTopic: In Southwest Colorado innovation and genius was almost always employed to get more wealth out of the land along the Animas River. And today\, the land — and those of us who live on it — are still paying the price for that innovation. But today\, there are innovators and inventors and entrepreneurs quietly working on this problem\, and they’ve come up with some amazing solutions that not only reduce pollution\, but power and heat homes in the process. The problem is\, there’s no profit in utilizing these innovations. That’s where common-sense policies\, ones that incentivize companies to focus some of their R&D dollars toward pollution problem-solving\, come in. There is hope for a cleaner future. \nSpeaker: Jonathan Thompson is an award-winning freelance author\, journalist and editor. He’s a native Westerner with deep roots in southwestern Colorado. He usually writes about the land\, culture and communities of the American West\, with an emphasis on energy development\, pollution\, land-use politics and economics. But he’s fascinated by the complexity of the world around him\, and is happy to delve into almost any topic. He is the author of River of Lost Souls: The Science\, Politics\, and Greed Behind the Gold King Mine Disaster (Torrey House Press\, February 2018) and is a contributing editor at High Country News. In 2016\, Jonathan was awarded the Society of Environmental Journalist’s Outstanding Beat Reporting\, Small Market. \n\nThe Green Business Roundtable (GBR) is one of the most innovative and successful lunchtime networking events in Durango.

SUMMARY:Forest and Fire Learning Series: The Who's Who of Forests and Fire
DESCRIPTION:Forest and Fire Learning Series\nThe Who’s Who of Forests and Fire\n  \nThis is the second in the collaborative Forest and Fire Learning Series. As we begin the year with below-average precipitation and above-average temperatures\, community concerns around forest health are growing\, and land managers may be faced with significant challenges including wildfire\, prescribed fire\, insect infestation\, diminished water quality and smoke. To address community concerns\, foster understanding\, and promote innovative collaboration between local land managers\, MSI and partners will offer a three-part learning series. Over three evenings\, we will cover local forest health\, current conditions and the local managers who address them\, and the changes that will shape our future forests. \nThis second night will focus on the current conditions of our forests\, from drought to insect infestation\, and how they impact the risk of fire. This assessment of current conditions will lead to a broader dialogue about fire on the landscape\, both prescribed and wild\, from people making the decisions about how both should be handled. \nPanel\nFireWise\nSan Juan Citizens Alliance\nLa Plata County Emergency Management\nColorado State Forest Service\nSan Juan National Forest \nMark you calendars for the third and final event of this series be Future Forest Changes and Challenges and will take place on April 18th\, 6-8 pm at the Powerhouse Science Center. The conversation will be directed to the future of our forests and the innovative ways we hope to adapt to known and unknown changes. We hope this panel will touch on new collaborative management strategies\, shifting forest ecologies\, and economic opportunities that may improve the future of our forests. Panel will include representatives from the San Juan National Forest\, Forest Health Company\, San Juan Citizens Alliance\, The Nature Conservancy*\, and Colorado National Forest Service*. \n*Tentative

SUMMARY:LPEA Election Open House
DESCRIPTION:Come\, eat\, drink\, and learn why we need to elect an active\, forward thinking LPEA Board of Directors. Let’s band together to lower rates for everyone with local\, renewable energy! \nDID YOU KNOW? Renewable energy costs in Colorado are now on par with coal! \nUnfortunately\, La Plata Electric Association (LPEA)\, is in an expensive contract that forces us to buy 95% of our power from a majority coal provider through 2050. \nOur community has the opportunity to look at ways to diversify our power sources\, gain local control\, and lower electricity rates for everyone. But right now\, a majority of our LPEA Board of Directors are unwilling to question the status quo. Fortunately\, as members of LPEA\, we have the opportunity to speak out through our votes each year! \nCome join us as we discuss the importance of this year’s election and how you can get involved. We’ll have happy hour drinks\, appetizers\, information\, and current board members available to chat with! \nFACEBOOK EVENT
