    logo_sedonachamber2Sedona AZ (April 16, 2019) – The Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau joined forces with the City of Sedona, Sedona Compost, Keep Sedona Beautiful and the Sustainability Alliance to launch Straw Free Sedona, a campaign that encourages local businesses and their patrons to cease use of plastic straws.

    Since then, dozens of businesses have pledged to avoid one-time use plastic straws from their inventory; a small step towards a more sustainable Sedona. Initial reports have shown that since the launch of the campaign, over a half million plastic one-time use straws have been eliminated in Sedona!

    To celebrate Earth Day on April 22, The Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau (SCC&TB) has donated 10 reusable stainless-steel straws to participating restaurants for their first 10 patrons!

    Thank you to the following businesses who have eagerly jumped on this sustainable initiative. Although the elimination of plastic straws is a small step towards less waste on land and in the water, there are many more initiatives that can be put into action; such as decreasing use of plastic bags and Styrofoam containers. Perhaps your home or business can work towards zero-waste or use your food waste to compost your new vegetable garden.

    Which initiative will you lead? How will you change the world on Earth Day?

    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.
