Sustainable Change is the Key to Our Future!

Colorado and the Nation, as a whole, has painted itself into a corner where the need for sustainable change is becoming more critical every day. Colorado’s greenhouse gas pollution, air quality, and congestion continue to increase negatively impacting productivity, overall health, and the state’s quality of life. Some have embraced the need for change but far too many continue on their way consuming finite carbon fuels that deplete our ozone and pollute in so many ways.

Nuclear Nexus & Nuclear Guardianship Collective

RMPJC was founded with a main focus of closing down the Rocky Flats nuclear plant. In coordination with AFSC Denver, Greenpeace, and numerous other organizations, RMPJC worked to end the production of potentially harmful nuclear waste. Over time, RMPJC became the foremost peace and environmental group working steadily for the best possible procedures to properly clean up the already thoroughly contaminated site. However, due to an improper “clean up” by government agencies, the efforts to clean up Rocky flats and make it habitable once again is still underway.

A Tale of Two Pikas: from dueling subspecies to dueling visions of the future for an alpine icon

Boulder Unitarian Universalist Church 5001 Pennsylvania Ave, Boulder, CO 80303

There once was a fluffy little squeaky-toy of a species, the American pika, that was also a four-season alpinist. There are pikas that live their whole lives looking down on Everest Base Camp, and there are pikas that live in the desert heat of Lava Beds National Monument. So, which is it? Is the pika a hapless poster child for climate disaster, even though it manages to survive in some of the harshest landscapes on the planet? This talk will show the pika from many angles (and mostly in pictures rather than graphs), to celebrate the diversity and perfection of one of the many species that might soon become too rare to really study.
