We all live downstream

Your fortune as told by the stars…

The future of the planet is in your hands. Continuing to choose the worn out path of water consumption no longer serves our communities. Overconsumption and misuse has let to dried up lakes in wildlife refuges, rivers and lakes regularly become too hot for trout to thrive in my home state of Wyoming. 

I wonder if and when society will understand just how much our values have to change.

When will we help the bees thrive again? Will you choose native plants and vegetable gardens over a green lawn? Will you value wildlife habitat and clean water even if you have to change your own habitat? Will you choose fewer shiny new “things” and instead reach out to see if someone has something you could buy/barter for instead?

We have more choices than we realize. How will you choose?

Choose wisely friends.
