So said the headline in yesterday's Jackson Hole News & Guide. Here's a link to the story. Too bad the N&G didn't post the five complementary stories it ran in the print edition, but kudos nevertheless to the paper for taking a broad look at the issues we face, and some of the initiatives underway to reduce energy demands in our mountain valley.

If I can ever find my way back to the path of regular blogging, Carbon Neutral Journal readers will hear a lot more about a couple of those initiatives — particularly the effort to launch a community wide 10 x 10 effort to reduce energy use and trash generation by 10% by the year 2010.

In the meantime, read the N&G Story about us energy pigs, visit ZeroJH to calculate your localized carbon footprint and see how you rate compared to the per capita estimate of 37 metric tons of CO2 emissions per Jackson Hole resident. And, while you're visiting ZeroJH, consider the impact of what the calculator tells you, identify areas where you can conserve, then buy offsets for what you cannot conserve.
