| Can Boulder be Carbon neutral? Maybe. Is this contest all about making Boulder itself better? No. Is this proposal something that would inspire collaboration on a national if not global scale? I don't think so, and I don't mean to be nitpicky but it's not about having some awesome online platform that works really well and looks nice, it's about ability to forge real world strategic alliances. |

| Proposal contributor Hey Jacob, Thank you for taking the time to read this proposal! You bring up good points. I want to provide a few thoughts: Can Boulder be carbon neutral? Is this contest all about making Boulder itself better? Is this proposal something that would inspire collaboration on a national if not global scale? Those are just a few thoughts. I would love to hear more in-depth, constructive feedback, if you are open to it. I would also love to talk about your proposal and see how we might be able to support each other's work. If you want, let's have a Skype or phone call. Just send me a private message. All the best to you from Boulder, References: |

| Proposal contributor Ooops, I forgot half a sentence in my comment above :) Under "Is this contest all about making Boulder itself better?", I started writing "One of Boulder's key goals in climate mitigation efforts is to become a ...". The whole sentence is supposed to be this: "One of Boulder's key goals in climate mitigation efforts is to become a 'world leader in [...] emissions reductions programs [...] and inspire [...] other communities to participate in reducing carbon emissions and stabilizing the climate.'" The origin of that quote is under "Vision" on page 4 of Boulder's Climate Commitment (Draft October 2015). |

| How to say this eloquently, if you can't work hand in hand with Colorado Springs, this won't work at all. |

| Hey I think this is great! Very well thought out. We use Loomio at Earth Guardians and it is a very good platform. We can connect you to the founder of it if that would be helpful at some point in developing this. I think this platform could work well with the living soils carbon sequestration project that Russell and I are writing a proposal for now. I am definitely excited to collaborate with you on this at Naropa and beyond! -Daniel
