Jason Riley 6/09/2021 8:59 AMIdaho is trying to pass a bill to cull 90% of their wolf population. Please help stop this wanton destruction of a keystone species due to ignorance. Domestic dogs kill more livestock annually than wolves. https://www.change.org/p/idaho-senate-protect-wolf-populations-in-idaho?recruiter=1902207&recruited_by_id=df18fd30-65cf-11e4-84e2-53b9a739869e&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial -

Jason Riley 4/27/2021 9:58 AMFound this virtual water calculator. It was surprising to see the water footprint we have. It was still under the national average for our household size, but I thought it would be lower. It's surprising how fast it adds up. Definitely some opportunities for improvement! -
