The "Stage" reaches an informed, aware audience attuned to the myriad environmental and economic issues facing us today. Our mission is responsible living: honoring and preserving our heritage and protecting precious current resources for a sustainable future. We advocate conserving an ecological, economic, and social balance through environmental management and responsible consumption. It is our goal to inform and educate by:
- (1) Presenting timely articles with suggestions on how we can achieve this balance and build a sustainable future,
- (2) Offering suggestions about activities (things to do and see, places to visit, cultural and recreational opportunities) that address our mission, and
- (3) Profiling people whose lives provide a positive influence in protecting our past and preserving future.
In this section, we features articles that address these interests (and which may also appear elsewhere in this publication. We also plan to offer guest commentary and regular columns, again relating to our mission and our goal to educate and inform about economic and environmental issues relating to and impacting today's lifestyles. |
In a simpler time, when comfort was based on "sharing resources" rather than owning them, and energy needs were met by natural sources (sun in the daytime, fire at night), when transport meant walking or riding a horse rather than firing up the SUV, when the skies were clear, or cloud-filled from storms rather than coagulated contrails, the earth and its inhabitents were in balance.balance. We need to find a way to recapture that balance while keeping faith with our own technological advances. Not an easy task, but one that can be accomplished if we make a genuine and sincere effort to do so.Click on image to see it full size.

Teepee at Dutch Charlie Reservoir, Ridgway State Park. Snow-dusted Mt. Sneffles and San Juans in the background. This image recalls living conditions before the white man ever set foot in this pristne area. (Look closely - can you see the birds perched on the tips of the teepee poles?) |
