    N. AZ Climate Change Alliance’s Rolf vom Dorp will review the need for local action as well as how to promote constructive solutions to engage and involve the public while at the same time explaining what remedial measures can be taken.

    The presentation by Healthy World Sedona will focus on the environmental factors and science that demonstrate how our actions can benefit the planet and contribute to the health and welfare of animals and to ourselves.  Bev and Don will also address how we might achieve the outcomes we wish for the planet.

    Food Recovery Coordinator Leslie Fox will help us understand where our trash comes from and where it goes.  She will discuss creative solutions for developing a sustainable materials management system that fulfills human needs by recovering what is edible to feed the hungry and composting what cannot be consumed.

    Finally, join the fun with a quick-hitting verbal factoid quiz where the first correct answer will win a small prize!  KSB trustees Bill and Carla will then talk about litter and recycling and what each of us can do to help improve the environment.  Get your litter and recycling questions answered!

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
