What approach would you take to address camping in our parks, on our bike paths and along our waterways?

Climate change issues are of the utmost importance to so many in our town and so often Boulder has led the nation in finding innovative solutions to energy production.

To help guide our efforts, we need to listen to experts: climate scientists, engineers, city planners and professionals at local power companies.
