Comment on Natural Horsemanship – Training for Courage workshop in Erickson, Sept. 18 – 20 by horsemanshiptraining

The reason for that is because lead ropes don’t lead horses or control horses. You’re in trouble right from the start if you expect a little bitty rope or even a rope with some kind of chain at the business end, to control a horse. You have to lead a communication system that clearly tells the horse you are the lead mare he can trust and that clearly tells him the speed, the direction, and the shape you want the horse to move.

Comment on Young bull moose in testy mood by todd

It’s like he’s practicing to get ready for his first Rut.
Sort of like going to the practice tee or the putting green before hitting the links.
I get the sense he’s testing himself so he’ll be ready with time comes to tangle with another bull.
thanks.

Beautiful poetry. As befits memories, families,
and the traditions that we have.

How great it is to be able to have
these traditions take place within
a national park.

Thank you Isabella!

A lovely place to be and to see
The trails we hiked live on in memory
We hope future hikers feel the beauty
of Riding Mountain National Park
And leave it in perpetuity without a
blemish mark!

Comment on Moving forward in the war against climate change by celesdavar08

Moderator’s Response:

The laws, however, do have to change unfortunately. Businesses in our respective countries have only had to account for profits and financial management. Because they have not “had to” account for social costs and environmental costs, they have chosen not to. That has to change. That requires new climate legislation and new financial laws that minimize carbon pollution.

When we avoid paying for the social and environmental costs on the front end, the balance sheet is incomplete. Because, if we go far enough out, we then end up having to pay for the environmental consequences as costs 10 and 15 years down the road, and the public does not realize that those costs are related back to the initial events that caused pollution or health effects cumulatively down the road.

Environmental costs and social costs must be part of the triple bottom line accounting. Once the balance sheet includes these, then the choices that businesses will make to do certain things will be influenced by this triple bottom line accounting approach. That’s just the way business works. If they have to, they will. If they don’t have to, they won’t. It changes profit-seeking from short term gain to long term sustainability. If the planet is not working, neither will businesses.

“It’s up to us – not governments, to lead in the war against climate change”

Correct. The opportunity for governments to ram climate laws down our throats has passed. People must make fighting climate change profitable for business and economical for individuals, and in real dollars not simply through subsidies.

Moderator’s note: It would appear, through some research, that this is a comment from a resident of the US. Circumstances are slightly different in the two countries regarding climate legislation and subsidies.
