    Glad to have discovered you this holiday season. I’m a conservation biologist/sustainability activist and also (BTW), an old friend/neighbor of Peter Warshall. I’m now living in the northern part of the San Luis Valley in Crestone, Colorado. It would be great to foster greater connections between all of us who share the upper Rio Grande watershed/San Luis Valley bioregion. The cultural connections are very evident, even here in the north.

    Hello Seth,

    My name is Eric Robinson. I work with Cedar Mountain Solar. Xubi Wilson who I work with also suggested that the Green Fire Times might be looking for articles to publish. I wanted to know if there was any interest in possibly having an article about Solar Thermal. I’m not sure how this works, but I’m interested in finding out more. If this is something of interest I’d be happy to hear from you.

    Thanks for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Best regards,

    Eric Robinson

    • Tritium Detected in Santa Fe Wells
      Is Santa Fe's drinking water safe? More than half of our water in Santa Fe comes from the Rio Grande, and it's drawn downstream from Los Alamos Canyon regularly dumps toxic stormwater into the river. The rest comes from a wellfield that recently tested positive for radioactive tritium. Watch the lecture, and decide for yourself! […]
    • Comments on "The Risk at Buckman"
      I've received a lot of feedback from my previous article on Buckman, and learned a lot since then about what happened. The key to the "no risk" deception from ChemRisk was that they analyzed the river during "normal" flows when the toxin levels are low, rather than after rainstorms, when the toxin levels are very high. They also assu […]
    • The Risk at Buckman
      Santa Fe recently brought online a new system that takes water out of the Rio Grande to supplement it's municipal drinking water. Unfortunately the new system, called the Buckman Direct Diversion, draws water from directly beneath several canyons that regularly dump storm water laced with radionuclides and other bomb-making contaminants.What on earth wo […]
    • The Problem with Carbon Caps
      A friend wrote to me this morning with a simple question about New Energy Economy's ongoing fight for carbon caps on electric utilities. Here is my response. The problem with setting a cap and creating a market for carbon is that there are too many loopholes, leaving too much room for the same shenanigans we’ve always seen from utilities. Utilities are […]

    • Organic Seeds, Heirloom Seeds
      There is a time in winter, when it seems like outdoors has very little to offer. Time slows down, daylight a little more present. Cold, wind, frozen ground, everyone seemingly buying time until spring breath reaches us. It is also time for garden dreams, with magazines, books, seed catalogs piling up by the fire place. This year's find is Baker's C […]
    • Winter Life with Beeswax Candle Light
      Christmastide is over and the spring dreams rush in the void left by the end of the holiday season. The lull of the season, January and February are quite uneventful in our cold climate. The daily rhythm is composed of making fire, feeding goats, harvesting eggs, collecting firewood, and filling bird feeders. The ground is hard frozen, and sheep's belli […]
    • All Souls Day, Firewood and Tea
      With Halloween and All Souls Day upon us, we think about dear ones that are no longer with us, about their experiences in life, about their understanding of nature, seasons, life forces, and life realities. Though Grandmother was an educated woman who insisted on wearing matching gloves and shoes, she knew more about workings of nature that most of people in […]
    • Sustainble Living in October - Replenishing
      The air ringing with blue and golden light, first frost on its way - and harvest is all around us.  And what we take from the land, must be returned and replenished - so as squashes, tomatoes, tomatillos, beets and potatoes are leaving the ground, compost and mulch are coming it. In gardening we depend on animals to bring fertility to the soil - and it is im […]
    • Parenting and Sustainable Living
      Gardening, canning, harvesting.... knitting, sewing, building.... working, taking care of the land, animals, plants... keeping creativity flowing, making things and meeting needs. From such creativity arises the basic knowledge on how to live life independently from manufactured objects. Life happily disconnected from much shopping, from looking outside of o […]
