Some may disagree but I believe winter is the best season of the year. For some people, it’s how they make a living, but for the rest of us it represents a lifestyle that we can’t imagine in our wildest dreams, living without. But we all know that winters are getting shorter and the snowpack gets thinner each year.
It’s a been proven that this trend will continue if we don’t all become smarter about how we interact with our environment. But if we harness our collective energy and put forth a focused effort, we can have a direct influence on reversing the damage that’s been done and ensure that winters are here for generations behind us.
Protect Our Winters (POW) is on Mother Nature’s side. POW is a non-profit organization dedicated to -you guessed it- protecting our winters.
