It's the trend I am more interested in... eisinc.com and if we can anticipate any reversals. Park City’s study was inspired by Aspen, where the city government two years ago launched a program called the Canary Initiative. The idea is that mountains, like the polar regions, are likely to most dramatically feel the effects of global warming, similar to sensitive canaries taken into coal mines to warn miners of bad gas. vaildaily.com Looks like a "cool" idea... protecting the environment... Almost half of Aspen/Snowmass employees contribute a dollar a week to the Environment Foundation. Their contributions are matched by the Aspen Community Foundation and again by the Aspen Skiing Company Family Fund, and donations--$1 million to date--go to local environmental causes like clean air and water, trail maintenance and energy efficiency. Aspen/Snowmass is third party ISO certified as a "green" company, the first of only two ski resorts in the country to achieve this recognition. ISO 14001 certification is the most widely known and respected environmental stamp of approval, which demonstrates responsible management of our environmental impacts. aspensnowmass.com
