Update from the Publisher: The vision moves forward at Theatre of Big Bend

Q&A with Paul Schaefer, Alpine horticulturist

Editor’s note: This is the third in a series about how people in Alpine are educating themselves and the community on ways to prosper during the world’s transition away from an oil-based economy. The transition is expected to take many decades, but much can be - must be - done immediately. Alpine lawyer Eve Trook prepared this series as a way to help Avalanche readers think about the issues that are already here, and the issues to come. As Trook points out, it is particularly vital that rural, isolated areas such as Alpine - which do not really have a substantial voice on the world stage - make their own plans for the coming transition. This is not gloom-and-doom stuff; it is continuing to work for a better way of life for ourselves and future generations. This is make-a-difference stuff.
