I wrote an article about building “green” a year ago. My thoughts on the subject are basic and sensible; however, difficult to implement, except by choice on an individual basis. Performing a search with keywords “building codes, green, energy,” will show sone good articles now – last year I didn’t find many. My husband and I built a passive solar home thirty years ago, with the help of the then $10,000 tax credit. FYI, here is the article (I sent it to Gov. Christi and Mayor Bloomberg to suggest some rebuilding ideas – haven’t heard back, but time will tell): http://ezinearticles.com/?Should-Passive-Solar-Design-Building-Codes-Be-the-Law?&id=6265225

Hi Marilyn, I am a Denver Post reporter working on a story about social media and the fires. I found you on Twitter. I live in Fort Collins and have been following the High Park Fire. Would you have a minute to talk today? Thanks very much, Kris Browning-Blas, 303-954-1440, kbrowning@denverpost.com

There’s a physiological reason you were upset. When the body is placed in a compromising and threatening circumstance, the brain chemistry changes and adrenaline surges through the system. Crying was a release of the flooding of neurotransmitters sending signals every which way to attempt to assist you in dealing with a trauma. The next day? PTSD. And that’s what war survivors deal with for years and years after what they’ve endured.

Spot on, although I can’t say that the Democrats have ALL the answers. I work in the financial industry and many of my colleagues agree that the current crop of leaders and candidates are essentially kindergartners. No serious discussion of the real pros and cons of policy choices, only name-calling, shouting and more divisive rhetoric to keep the checkbooks of wealthy constituencies open (both parties do this).

Maybe America does have to hit the wall before our leaders are ready to deal with the federal budget deficit, the never-ending state of warfare and the disappearing middle class?

The nonprofit I worked for was a little anti-sustainability and going green because it would have cost money. But, honestly, because of their tax status they could have qualified for free programs. I think it was just ignorance. Yes, it is definitely everyone’s responsibility.

I completely agree with this post. Both professionally and personally, it is important to integrate sustainability into our lives. My great grandmother use to say “when you do good; you do good for yourself. when you do bad; you do bad for yourself” implementing sustainable practices is definitely a good that helps us and humanity in a big way. good post

I know this post is a little old, but I am relieved that no one was hurt. I think it’s perfectly normal to cry about what happened. Think of the rush of emotions you experienced in those few moments.

In all situations that happen in the physical there is a spiritual force at work.And through personal experience i have learnt to be dependant onto the spiritual to tap into my physical.

We always need to tap into the spiritual realm for everything, i thank God for sparing you and your family.It’s him who gives us the journey mercies. There at time when i ask myself how much i had to pay for breath if it were a commodity.

Only God protects us .
