New Colorado program uses beer brewing to grow weed and prevent climate change [ beer]

Here at DGO, we’re rather fond of both beer and weed. And now, the two recreational intoxicants are working together to save the Earth, something else to which we’ve grown rather attached.

Late last month, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis unveiled two pilot programs designed to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change, the Denver Business Journal reported. One program, the Carbon Dioxide Reuse Pilot Project, captures carbon dioxide produced by the brewing process and releases it in cannabis greenhouses. If you remember back to elementary school, plants (such as cannabis) use carbon dioxide, water, and light to photosynthesize, creating glucose and breathable oxygen as a byproduct – a much better use for the CO2 than letting it escape We hope both pilot programs work out and are able to be rolled out across the beer and cannabis industries, helping sustain the only planet we know of that produces either.

The two companies involved in the pilot project are Denver Beer Co., the 7th-largest craft brewery in the state, and The Clinic, a Denver-based cannabis company. The project is being overseen by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and it is using technology developed by Earthly Labs in Austin, Texas.

The other program is called the Colorado Cultivators Energy Management Program and involves electric cooperatives and municipal utilities providing cannabis growers with no-cost technical energy use assessments, so they can better understand what parts of the cannabis-cultivation business drive energy usage.

That latter program is equally good, but nowhere near as interesting – on a basic level – as the first one. Nonetheless, we hope both pilot programs work out and are able to be rolled out across the beer and cannabis industries, helping sustain the only planet we know of that produces either.

GET OUTTA TOWN: Iosepa, Utah’s Hawaiian oasis that failed » Ghost town was once the home of dozens of Polynesian Mormons [ travel]

One area where the church found success in converting people back then was Polynesia – to the point where, by 1889, about 75 Native Hawai ians had immigrated to Salt Lake City to join the main body of the church.

Unfortunately for them, it was still the 19th century, and the area they had come to – if not the whole coun try – was wildly racist. The Hawaiians were prohibited from staying at white-owned hotels or eating at whiteowned restaurants. Seeing that the situation was untenable, the church stepped in and set out to set up a new place for the Polynesians to live.

Most of the land in the immediate vicinity of Salt Lake City had been claimed by that point, so a team of three Hawaiians and three mission aries were given the task of finding another location for the enclave. The landed on an 1,920-acre site about 75 miles southwest of the city. The named the town “Iosepa,” after the Hawaiian form of the name “Joseph,” in honor of Joseph F. Smith, the neph ew of the founder of the church and one of the first Mormon missionaries to Hawaii. The first 46 settlers arrived on August 28, 1889.

Despite the obvious differences be tween Utah and their homeland, the residents of Iosepa put their hearts into colonizing the area, buying a saw mill and building a church, a school, a store, and homes. They constructed a small reservoir and an irrigation system to water their fields, lawns, and flowerbeds – the town became known for the yellow roses that lined its streets and won a prize for the “best kept and most progressive city in the state of Utah” in 1911. In addition to raising pigs, carp, and trout, the Io Courtesy of Ikeosaurus/Wikimedia Commons » » All that remains of Iosepa are the foundations to a few houses, fire hydrants, and the cemetary.
