She will be offering her insights on current events, with a special focus on the grassroots social movements that are driving change in our society.

As I’m sure you know, the front range has been out of compliance with its ozone pollution. At the same time, Suncor has been out of compliance in the pollution it puts into the air and water. Non-electric vehicles also add to the pollution with the use of diesel fuel in particular. As you also might know, Central I-70 is to be widened (unless it is stopped by the Governor). The widening of this highway will also increase the pollution in the area. The residents have suffered from these various forms of pollution for as many as fifty years or longer if you go beck to the days of smelters that were located in this area. As usual, the people have no voice in the decisions that are made or not made. Big business owns our elected officials for the most part. How can you publicize the plight of lower income people who are at the mercy of big money and our love affair with oil and gas consumption? I haven’t even touched on fracking which is going on all over the state!
