I know, this sounds impossible, but apparently it is the real deal, and it doesn’t work by burning the grass clippings. This is becoming important, as our earth is going through some horrible changes. Many are predicting huge shortages of food, water, and energy in our future; here’s one example: “Impending Crisis, late 2022-2024, and How to Deal with It.”

Here are links to some amazing videos and articles about using grass clippings to heat your home. Check them out:

Edd Blackler, a founding member of ESP, died, Aug 18, 2020 of cancer. See dailyinterlake.com/news/2020/aug/20/edwin-e-blackler-77-6/ for his obituary.

He was very influential in getting ESP off the ground, and was dedicated to keeping it alive and influential. But that’s only the beginning. He loved Bigfork and was very active in helping to make it even better. See much more detail in his obituary link above.

You may have heard that Citizens for a Better Flathead (CFB) board voted to shut down (hibernate) the organization due to lack of sufficient funding (see Daily Interlake article, Aug 30, 2019 for more detail). They have been a vital, vocal land-use advisory group since 1992.

Then Mayre Flowers called a meeting of long-time supporters to discuss their vision for the future of the organization. That meeting was held on October 1, 2019.

If you believe in the work of CFB, please consider supporting the organization – financially and/or volunteering – if they do decide to start-up again. Read on for examples of CFB’s past work, and Mayre’s notes from that Oct 1 meeting. (more…)
