Tips, Task & Progress
Located at the first entrance to the World's first National Park, Gardiner, Montana is the perfect place to go as green as possible.
Government regulations will not solve all of our problems. In order to meet the challenges facing our planet, each person will need to develop more conservative habits and work to make his or her community more sustainable.
The Objectives of the "Greening Gardiner" campaign are:
* To improve residential energy efficiency through improvements in household insulation, lighting, and appliances. This will save everyone money. It also will reduce our reliance on technologies such as coal and petroleum, which generate pollution and are becoming more expensive.
*To increase Gardiner's reliance on non-polluting sources of energy such as solar and wind.
* To minimize solid waste in the community through an aggressive effort to reduce, reuse and recycle.
In addition to saving money and doing our bit to help the environment, the residents of Gardiner can set an example for the hundreds of thousands that travel through town every year to visit Yellowstone National Park. We can show the world that "going green" is not only do-able but makes good business sense!

Massive water shortages and other global catastrophes
Many people in Gardiner have been upset by a recent plan to build a cellular phone tower in a residential area bordering Yellowstone National Park. If it is built, this tower will change the character of our town, and there are good reasons to be concerned.
But sometimes it is important to put our local problems into a global perspective.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has just released a 572 page report entitled the "Global Environmental Outlook 4" or "GEO 4.… Continue
