Colorado composts only 6% of its organic discarded materials. SB23-91 will help create policies to turn organic waste into beneficial uses (feeding hungry people, feeding animals, and producing compost, mulch, and biochar).
You can help Colorado develop a game plan to improve our statewide compost systems by supporting Colorado’s Senate Bill 23-191. Sign and send a letter of support to your state senator TODAY before the upcoming Senate vote (it takes less than 1 min) here: bit.ly/sb23-191-senate

Compost guidelines have changed for all municipalities along the Front Range—and it's even simpler. Please put Food Scraps and Yard & Plant trimmings ONLY in your curbside compost bin.

We've worked for decades to protect farmed animals globally, and #Prop12 is undoubtedly one of the most sweeping laws for farmed animals ever enacted.

What a lovely piece about capturing sensory impressions in #writing.
Here's an "aha moment"-inducing blog by Amber Byers about using the sense of smell in writing & her talk with award-winning author @jeffzentner. "Jeff’s writing ... opened up language for me in a wild and beautiful way."

If you’re in Boulder please stay home & off the roads if you can. We know the smoke is making it hard for drivers to see, clogging the roads, while first responders are handling multiple calls #boulder #cowx
Another view of the fire from @broomfield. Do not travel to Boulder at this time! Many roads are closed! This is a rapidly changing situation. @boulderpolice @NMFirePIO
