The River Starts Here

Source to sea, our pristine mountain streams high above our everyday lives, flowing whether or not we are reminiscent of this fact.

The headwaters of our daily actions and choice have consequences and are important to consider. Gutters drain to rivers. Rivers drain into oceans, even from land locked states like Wyoming and Colorado. What you leave behind while fishing, what you fertilize your yard with, the sunscreen you use before jumping in the lake… these are all choices that impact our shared nature. Please take your choices seriously and make your voices heard to protect living waters that support all forms life, humans, aquatic species, birds, insects and mammals all depend on clean water to thrive.

Let’s work together to prevent nature from becoming an antiquated thing (ie silver tray) that no one really wants or cares for anymore. The wealth that clean water provides is invaluable. Unlike this seemingly unwanted silver tray.
