“Waiting for the percent” is a frustrating phenomenon, particularly in wealthy areas. It’s observed and justified frequently in communities like ours and often is the enemy of progress.
I think CB’s commitment to be bold opens up the decision-making so we are more comfortable making mistakes, especially if they are appropriately bounded and we can learn from them.
It was surprisingly hard to get people to focus on impact. Often, climate action seemed to be a tool that people wanted to use to justify something they wanted to do-- e.g., composting, which at least in our community would have very little impact on climate emissions.
Excellent commentary! Crested Butte has always been at the forefront of environmental issues….it’s called leadership. Nice job!

CB has been a leader to be sure. No waiting for the perfect.
