                            Most of the fairy tales I read took place in the woods. As we became teenagers, we would have little cook outs in the woods and make baked potatoes. We would sit down near a stream and cool our drinks in the water. At night, listening to the sounds of the insects was a cozy feeling.

                            I was living in New York City, as an actress. I have always loved the theatre, but I longed to be in the woods. Central Park was my haven. I sought out friends who had cars who could take me to the Catskills to go hiking. Eventually I found the Sierra Club and began going on weekend hikes with them. I would take the train from Grand Central Station and meet the Sierra Club group and join them in hikes in Bear Mountain, Cold Springs and do overnights in the Catskills.

                            As an outings leader it is a joy to show someone a new trail. It is a comfort to hike with kindred spirits who share my love of the environment. The magic of being outdoors elicits heartfelt conversations, laughter and learning all while hiking the outdoors. When I began to see invasive plants encroaching into my beloved hiking trails, I volunteered with other groups that were eradicating these invasives. I soon began offering weed wrangles through the Sierra Club, all the while partnering with other groups who were doing the same. Pulling invasive plants with a hearty group of people is life enhancing.

                            Volunteering with the Sierra Club can make a person feel less alone. I have made many good friends through volunteering with the Sierra Club. I have had to ask many questions and people were always willing to help me learn. When we plan a hiking outing, first we scout it with another Sierra Club member. Then, we will list it in Campfire [our events portal] and hike with an interested, intriguing group of people. We're making a difference in the environment by carrying the joy of being outdoors to others.

                                     I have always been an advocate for protecting our environment. It wasn’t until I retired and moved back to rural Southwest Indiana that I became an environmental and climate activist. Moving back to Jasper, Indiana, in 2020, I was looking forward to hiking in the nearby forests and parks, cycling the hilly country roads, and enjoying nature.

                                     <br/>
                                     Then I learned about a proposed 54-mile new-terrain highway called the Mid-States Corridor, that if built would take away legacy farms, destroy acres of forest, threaten wildlife habitat, and add more harm to our fragile environment. It was at that moment that I knew I had to take an active role in fighting this destruction that could negatively impact our unique and beautiful rural landscape.

When much of the mainstream environmental movement wrote off rural people, Mahler built a powerful movement among them: decentralized, democratic and rooted in place.

                            Mahler was a visionary, whose capacity for empathy, for both humans and the natural world, was matched only by his steely refusal to compromise on vital matters of ecological principle. Mahler’s life, lived to the max, is a testament for a new kind of environmental movement: local, radical and charged with the joyful spirit of the life force itself."

                                     While there might be some 80+ degree days still this fall, it feels as though our super hot weather has finally broken. Looking back at those utility bills though, makes me start to sweat all over again.

                                     How is it that other communities pay less for their utility bills? Is there any way that we Hoosiers could have our monthly utility bills lowered? I have done a bit of research recently and here is what I have discovered.

It was an honor to champion, along with many local members, the proposed solar project on behalf of our whole Chapter to the BZA.
