It would be nice to see a BDC article explaining what the policy in Montana and Bozeman is for the disposal of used CFLs. There's nothing on the packaging of the bulbs NW Energy distributes free of charge annually to its customers. Since they contain mercury, they pose a toxic health and environmental danger. In future, we may find that faulty disposal methods by ignorant or careless people will result in contamination similar to the "drugs in the water supplies" that have occurred in many cities across the USA. Why wait for the problem to happen before anything is proposed.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34907854/ns/us_news-environment/ Should Ted Turner be allowed to provide a home for the YNP bison overflow AND keep most of the offspring? On the surface, it sounds like a great/shrewd business deal.

Move over Al Gore!  Prophet of Doom. Pope of Green-Rich Pillage.  No more of your " An Inconvenient Spoof."   No more convenient  global name changing.

You see, after having a life changing experience akin to losing a national election, I grew a  beard and wandered the Ivory Towers of Indoctrination of my Alma mater.  There mingling amongst the under grads I attended some mind enhancing social gatherings.  While in an altered state of mind I realized I needed a cause.  One such as you had discovered in the rehashing of your youth and of the global cooling crisis.  How clever of you to think of warming. 

In the clouded haze that was about me, courtesy of a glass pipe,  I pondered CO2 and how similar it must be to happy smoke.  I puffed my way up the frat stairs and met with a dude who had concocted some form of green beverage in a Igloo cooler.  Spent bottles ...

Once again, while pleasantly sailing through the pages of the Bozone looking for some good entertainment and happenings available during the New Year celebration, my vessel of inquiry hit the bilious green calm of the EcoZone.  This stagnant body of words with nary a ripple of intelligence held me in its mire of ignorance and hypocrisy.  On the first page of this morass of stupidity a reader's eye is caught by the mirage of planet Earth in flames.  This alarmist exaggeration is but one of the many farcical things that plays tricks on weak minds unwittingly trapped in these "institution green" tinted pages.  An unfortunate but all too real aspect of this is, below the silt laden surface swims the insidious creatures of indoctrination, their razor sharp teeth of fear tactics bared to prey upon the innocent minds of youth.

Underneath the words, 'Maia, Maia, what we can do for Gaia, Gaia' these creatures circle in and around our schools with their appropriately named "scheme" in hopes...

Seagulls in Montana, I see five and a pelican dip minutes under water gulping for small mouth lodes of fish. They eat three course meals, and lay excrement upon my burnt neck. Here the air is thick, warm, Hebgen lake is an overcast of one giant season—and a million skipping stones, from Indian to Pioneer, Rancher to Homesteader, to tourist. We throw rocks at uneven surfaces making them walk, run, slap distances of up to 20 miles. Hidden around us, lies, as always the bigger picture, nature quaking earth, skipped its own stones a million at a time, drowning deer, human, house-fly anything that needs oxygen to survive. 1959. A winter that didn’t exist.

This land is an instigator, the river, the dam, the flood, the faults, the fortune lives through, and beside it all. And I am a part of Montana, and once upon a time. A fool to those who walk, jog, bike, boat and drive by. I beg wonders into life, borrow my green eyes from the devil himself. These roots are a flimsy life of two-hundred years. My outstretched body...

WARMERS GET CROW FOR THANKSGIVING, MORE COMING FOR CHRISTMAS!

It was never about the environment, it has always been about population control, and of late money; YOUR MONEY.

Maybe those scientists in the 70s who were sure we were headed for a New Ice age were right, at least for the Gallatin Valley. http://www.blacklistednews.com/news-6278-0-6-6--.htmlhttp://www.montanasnewsstation.com/Global/story.asp?S=114913

There are currently Buddhist prayer flags strung all over the inside of this public building. Has it become a temple or shrine? If someone were to hang a Cross, Star of David or Islamic Moon and Star all around it, there would be an uproar. Let's put the Ten Commandments in there and see what happens.

On the first day of August, a mob of 200 right-wing Texans stormed the parking lot of a Randalls grocery store in southwest Austin. They were united in a single goal: Disrupt the "office hours" that Rep. Lloyd Doggett, the district's congressman, had scheduled for his constituents. The protesters targeted Doggett for his role in crafting the House's bill to reform health care, brandishing signs that read "No Government Health Care" and "No Government Counselor in My Home!!!" But their anger seemed to encompass a universe of conservative fears: higher taxes, illegal immigration, socialism. The threat of violence was thinly veiled: One agitator held aloft a tombstone with the name Doggett. Screaming, "Just say no!" the mob chased Doggett through the parking lot to an aide's car — roaring with approval as he fled the scene.

Help, now we need to launder our money. (BDC front page, 8-19-09) It gives new meaning to the term "money laundering." Our pockets/wallets/purses are being contaminated with cocaine. So how much cocaine does it take before it permeates the skin? It looks like the dollar hasn't lost its value on the black market. It must continue to be the currency of choice worldwide for drug dealers/users. Either that or we are a drugged up nation. Amazing to think 90 percent of all the cash handled has passed thru the hands of cocaine contaminated persons. What next. Maybe it explains the confusion in Congress or the Alzheimers epidemic. Maybe it really is best to request crisp new bills at the bank on payday.

Do you suppose that Mr. Holdren has changed his mind in the last 32 years? It seems that his co-author has not. Please see "GLOBALIST QUOTES" in box to right of second link "Paul Ehrlich".  Since the mythical fountain of youth has been found on Easter Island this  may be a good idea, although a bit messy to enforce. What say you? Please keep in mind that population control has been around for some time, it just hasn't been worthy of the MSM yet.

I was perusing the July 1, 2009 Bozone looking for what is happening in the music scene.  As I was turning the pages I came across The EcoZone pages in the middle.  The pages that are tinted light green so as to remind you that the absurdities that appear here are validated by the green movement and therefore are not to be laughed at.  The soothing green and the action verb headlines provide those who feel insecure about their allotted time on this planet the deluded notion that they have control over their fate.  One of these headlines was “Grilling Green.”  Anyway, they emphatically believe these scientists because they are scientists and a bunch of them agree with each other, like we haven’t heard that before.

In contradiction they seemingly ignore the majority of scientists who agree that most negative health issues are genetically driven.  This accounts for the 84 year old mechanic who worked daily for 32 years with solvents and lubricants containing cancer causing carcinogens...

Bozeman Public Library, Large Meeting Room; 6:30, Wed, July 1. Presenter: Wendy Keefover-Ring, Director of Carnivore Protection, WildEarth Guardians Montana’s rugged foothills and mountains provide critical habitat to mountain lions (Puma concolor). A highly charismatic species, mountain lions (commonly called pumas, cougars, or panthers) are iconic. No wonder. Sleekly built and majestic, mountain lions evoke mythic associations connected to the divine. These large golden cats, shy and unsocial by nature, prefer rugged terrain that is suitable for ambushing their large prey, such as deer and elk. Mountain lions require expansive habitats because they are an “obligate carnivore”— they only eat meat—and their food supply is dispersed over long distances. Thus, a male lion requires 100 to 200 square miles of habitat. A female cat spends approximately 70 percent of her lifetime raising young. Born year-round but with births peaking in the summer and fall months, kittens are totally dependent upon their...

Let's think/talk about it. How many would like chickens living nextdoor? How many have had chickens living nextdoor? Are City & Country Living the same? Chickens are noisy. Chickens can carry Bird Flu. Dogs kill/eat chickens don't they? What else?

There is a stand of dead red pine trees along the west side of Sourdough Road between Kagy Blvd and Bogert Park. They are on an empty lot between the 3rd and 4th houses to the south of the Electrical Station. They are likely dead because of the Pine Beetle Infestation. Soon the larvae will hatch and seek 5-10 live trees per dead tree to infect. Doesn't anyone care enough to remove them ASAP?! These critters are no respecter of persons and fly in all directions when looking for a new home.

One of the biggest complaints I hear as the Tobacco Prevention Program Coordinator for Gallatin County is about smokers who toss cigarette butts out car windows. These tossed cigarette butts are not biodegradable and put the quality of our streams and rivers at risk because of cancer causing agents in cigarette filters that are made of cellulose acetate, a plastic that degrades slowly, if at all. So why do smokers continue to litter? http://tobaccofreegallatin.org/butt-butt-butt-

Gallatin County/local news is reporting the importance of removing dead(red) and dying pine trees. Pine Beetle infestation is an exponential problem. One dead tree has enough beetles to emerge and infect 5-10 pines. Once infected, a tree can't be saved. It would be a disgrace to have our community/county stripped of its trees because of a few uninformed/irresponsible land owners. Imagine the cemetary without trees, for example. Notify your neighbors that you care about this. Dead trees must be burned/buried or chipped immediately. Cut them down by the end of May or it's too late. The wood cannot be saved for firewood.
