In the Green Fire Times we spotlight initiatives that can create enduring impacts on global warming, energy independence, and green job development. These initiatives reflect a fundamental change in how people are thinking, living, and doing business. Stewardship, community, and the necessities of our immediate and long-term future are now more routinely taken into consideration.

How can we integrate the latest (and/or time-honored) products, practices and programs into a more sustainable lifestyle? How do we connect our lives to our watersheds, and to regional food and energy production? The need for bioregional planning has become clear, as has the need for a reciprocal relationship with Mother Earth.

Green Fire Times provides useful information for anyone – community members, businesspeople, students, visitors – interested in discovering the wealth of opportunities and resources available in our region. Knowledgeable people provide articles on subjects ranging from green businesses, products, services, entrepreneurship, jobs, design, building, energy, and investing – to sustainable agriculture, arts & culture, ecotourism, education, food, the healing arts, local heroes, native perspectives, natural resources, recycling, transportation, and more. If you are interested in contacting, advertising or writing for Green Fire Times, please contact us directly.
