Pyramid closure didn’t have to happen
The lack of vision from the U.S. Forest Service Regional Supervisor, as well as her staff, helped sink Pyramid Lumber, with it taking the livelihoods of over 100 Montanans along with rich opportunities to help the …
Glencore should clean CFAC up right
I say no a thousand times over… Glencore can easily afford to do the right thing and remove the toxic waste by rail and do the right thing after making billions of dollars from the site and their very profitable ot…

Stop trying to manage climate change
Climate change has become a major issue. Joe Biden’s solution for us is a 50% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030. He is also mandating that we make our electricity production carbon-free by 2035.
