I’ve learned a lot in the last month, including the important fact that “as-shipped”, some of the e-motos are being sold as Class 2 e-bikes (see below), but they can readily be modified and made illegal.

Read MoreOne statistic I remember from the studies in 2022 on the need for this facility, is that the demand for finished compost is 5X the supply available in Colorado.
Read MoreGetting through my high school years was very difficult, and I was probably not the most outgoing kid, but a core memory from that time was you coming over to my table and giving me a hug without saying a word or making a bigger deal about it.
