To Write the Forum

Please write an article to urge legislators to act on climate. The IPCC report states that it is either now or never to act on climate change. We must work together to create a sustainable future for future generations. I would really appreciate it if you did that. The 350 grassroots organization is urging the local media across the country to act on climate change. Will you join us in the fight? Local journalism is more important now than ever. I myself am a local journalist at the Left Hand Courier in Niwot and I’m always writing articles to urge my local community members to become active environmentalists.

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!

Is Boulder the most expensive place now in Colorado or is the whole state out of whack? Prices have exploded and for no good reason, as far as I can tell, except greed. Greedy stores, bars, gas stations and restaurants.

I used to pay $1.19 for a can of Pet Pride dog food at King Soopers. That same can is now $1.69. Outrageous! I used to pay $3.50 for an ice cream cone. Now, for the same price all you get is a mini — 1/2 scoop of the same ice cream. There are many more examples of this explosion. So I will stop buying dog food at King Soopers and I will no longer buy ice cream at Glacier. Maybe if we all stopped shopping for some things we don’t really need, vendors would not be so insane as their volume of sales disappeared.

My feeling is: charge less, you get more buyers and make up for it in volume of people rather than one person buying one thing.

Please think about it, stores and vendors.

It is a lingering question in my mind as to why the Camera regularly reposts editorials from the St. Louis Post-dispatch? Are they paying you to do this? In any event, not enough. It’s like having a friend whose favorite pet is a meerkat. Just an odd choice.

The two cities have so little in common that if a child was asked: Boulder, Austin, Athens, GA, Palo Alto and St. Louis — which one of these is not like the others? — the child would consider it to be a trick question. St. Louis is a rust belt city with many, many challenges, none of which resemble those of Boulder. So why is the Post-dispatch Editorial Board a font of political, historical and cultural commentary relevant to these parts?

Before I am barraged with snipes about the comparison, I have been through St. Louis many times. Quickly. And for those locally who may have transplanted from there (including a good friend) and might take offense, be reminded: You did choose to move … here.

Answers please.
