Spent a week hiking and river rafting on Colorado's Western Slope. Came home thinking about the fact that Westerners urban and rural, red and blue, have a lot in common. We’re bound by water, energy and public lands.
Some reflections in my latest column: www.latimes.com/environment/...
It's easy to forget how much Westerners have in common. We're bound by water, energy and public lands.
I also talked with Western environmental journalist Jonathan P. Thompson, author of the @landdesk.bsky.social newsletter, for this week's Boiling Point podcast. Great conversation about the Colorado River, coal plants and national parks. Listen in: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
