I'm a believer that climate change is a real threat. I'm also a believer that our culture desperately needs activities that bind people together rather than fractures them apart, and I believe contra dance is an excellent way to do that. (sharing weight, dancing with everyone, ...) I've mentioned the issue of how do we change our contra culture to minimize our carbon footprint from traveling to non-local contra dances to my wife, Jennifer Horrocks, a few times over the years (she sews and sells contra dance dresses all over the country). Recently Liz Burkhart (on this email's "to" list) posted on Facebook about her trying to alter her contra lifestyle to minimize her contra carbon footprint. Cut-and-pasting from her post: I believe that we, our contra community, needs to openly start discussing this issue. I applaud Liz's public request for comment and solutions.
