It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It's an invisible need… an invisible center… helping invisible people. Meanwhile, I’m haunted by the invisible impact of the insatiable greed that’s so widespread (and sadly, celebrated) in our multi-millionaire and billionaire class.

They’re two of the most common comorbids - and can have a devastating impact on quality of life.

People see carbon reduction. Watersheds see concentrated runoff, compacted soils, erosion, and broken headwaters.

Solar panels on steep ridges rewire hydrology. Calling this “low impact” only works if you don’t look downhill.
