Look Who Supports Boulder’s 2B & 2C

by on Oct 24, 2011

There are many reasons why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C. I could talk about how I don't like that a corporation (a monopoly, at that) has 100% control of a basic public service. I could talk about how Xcel has raised my electricity rates by 20% over the past few years. Or I could go on about how citizens have absolutely no say in what Xcel does, where their energy comes from, and how much they charge because the Public Utilities Commission isn't elected by voters. But, instead, the most basic reason why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C is because it's just the right thing to do for our community. And here's why.

Living Off-The-Grid

by on Oct 6, 2011

Living off-the-grid means living without public utilities like electricity. People who live off-the grid may not depend on municipal water, sewage, or natural gas. It also can mean you're self-sufficient in various ways. There are many third-world citizens who have lived off-the grid for generations. Some people choose this alternative lifestyle to save money. It's also a way to lower your environmental footprint. Michael "Mycol" Stevens lives off-the-grid just north of Gainesville, Florida. I met Mycol at a Fall planting workshop called "Fall Harvest Fest" hosted by our local green store, Indigo. He gave a talk about his experiences with self sustenance, organic living and his alternative lifestyle in general. He invited me to his place after the talk.
