Because the Climate Crisis is a Health Crisis

6:30pm-8:30pm, Factory, 750 Main Street, Grand Junction, CO

Doors open at 6:30 - Live video starts at 7:00 The Climate Reality Project, which was founded by former US Vice President Al Gore to empower people more...0 everywhere to act on climate change and create a healthy future for our planet. On December 3-4, Climate Reality is presenting 24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves. Hosted by Vice President Al Gore and featuring an all-star lineup of political icons, artists, scientists, and more, 24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves will travel the globe for 24 straight hours with thought-provoking conversations, rousing musical performances, and inspiring stories. I’m hosting a viewing party and inviting people who – just like you – are concerned about the health of our families and communities to watch a segment of the program with me and join millions worldwide in urging our leaders to press forward on the climate fight. Fossil fuels might be the greatest threat to public health worldwide, driving a climate crisis and threatening the health of our families and communities. Extreme weather is on the rise, infectious diseases are spreading, and our food and water supplies are increasingly at risk. And yet, far too few people are talking about it. That’s why we’re sounding the alarm on the clear and present danger that fossil fuels and climate change pose to the health of families and communities across the planet. This year’s 24 Hours of Reality will highlight just what’s at stake, and show us how there are already solutions underway to help us transition to a cleaner, brighter, and healthier future for us all. Plus, it’s going to be a great program and a lot of fun to watch together. We’ll hear the modern tales of how citizens, scientists, entrepreneurs, and local leaders are creating practical solutions that work. I hope you’ll join us! EVENT DETAILS When: December 3rd, 7:00 - 9:00 (come early!) Where: Factory, 750 Main Street, Grand Junction RSVP: Sandi@HighNoonSolar.com Please RSVP by Dec 2nd. If we come together to speak with one voice, our leaders will have to listen. Thanks in advance for joining me to help create a better world. Hope to see you there! Sandi & Wayne Sturm, Climate Reality Leaders

Western Slope is home to many farmers and ranchers, but did you know that sheep ranchers and cattle ranchers didn’t really see “eye to more...0 eye”? That’s what Colorado Experience’s producer Dan Garrison explores, as he finds out the history of “Sheep and Cattle Wars” in the Western Slope. For more than forty years, from the last decades of the 19th Century through the third decade of the 20th Century, Colorado sheep men and cattlemen waged a running range war over the high meadows, winter pastures and well-watered valleys of the Western Slope. By removing the Ute Indians, encouraging homesteading, irrigation and forestation, the federal government started a stampede for the possession of freed up or cheapened land. The strife was heightened when it became a fight pitting mostly Anglo cowboys against many Mexican and Basque shepherds. And the senseless slaughter of men and animals that was both condemned and mythologized in tales of the “bloody grass” battles ended only when Colorado Congressman Edward Taylor’s Grazing Act of 1934 became the law of the modern West, protecting public lands from potential devastation by regulating their private uses and abuses. On behalf of Rocky Mountain PBS, I extend an invitation to our Colorado Experience screening, “Sheep and Cattle Wars” on December 5th from 6pm to 8pm at the Museum of the West in the Whitman Building. We will have a reception before with complimentary wine from the museum and appetizers to enjoy. After we show “Sheep and Cattle Wars”, there will be a panel discussion with two local experts and two interviewees from the episode. Feel free to RSVP on our Facebook page http://bit.ly/2SYfLrP or Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/colorado-experience-sheep-and-cattle-wars-screening-tickets-52055698997 I look forward to seeing you at the show!
