It’s time to go electric! The variety of electric vehicles (EV) on the market is increasing, the network of charging stations is growing, and the tax benefits are still great…especially in Colorado.

Other ways to watch film

Join High Country Conservation Center and Protect Our Winters for a free screening of the film Purple Mountains followed by an in-person Q&A with filmmaker and POW founder, Jeremy Jones.

About the Film:
Professional snowboarder and mountaineer Jeremy Jones has an intimate relationship with the outdoors. It’s his escape, his identity, and his legacy. But over the course of his 45 years in the mountains, he’s seen things change: more extreme weather, fewer snow days, and economic strain on mountain towns.

Motivated by an urge to protect the places he loves, Jeremy sets out on a physical and philosophical journey to find common ground with fellow outdoor people across diverse political backgrounds. He learns their hopes and fears while walking a mile in their shoes on the mountain and in the snow.

With intimacy and emotion set against breathtaking backdrops, Purple Mountains navigates America’s divide with a refreshing perspective: even though we may disagree about climate policy, our shared values can unite us.

We want your input! Join the conversation on proposed changes to trash and recycling collection in Summit County.

Possible changes include moving toward a utility based model where customers pay for service based on the volume of waste generated. This creates economic incentives to recycle more. Pay-As-You-Throw and Universal Recycling are policy tools communities use to significantly improve recycling rates.
More information on Pay as You Throw
If you can’t attend, there will be a short recorded presentation and survey available in the coming weeks to let your voice be heard.
