| The Cache la Poudre River is in Trouble and Needs Your Help! |
| • NISP is the proposed Northern Integrated Supply Project on the Cache la Poudre River. |
| • The new Glade and Galeton Reservoir proposals are part of NISP. |
| • NISP will cost us too much and will create more problems than it solves. |
| • The Cache la Poudre River must be restored – not destroyed. |
| • We can stop NISP and save our endangered Poudre River |
| • You can help! |

For many of us, water simply flows from a faucet, and we think little about it beyond this point of contact. We have lost a sense of respect for the wild river, for the complex workings of a wetland, for the intricate web of life that water supports. We have been quick to assume rights to use water but slow to recognize obligations to preserve and protect it... in short, we need a water ethic -- a guide to right conduct in the face of complex decisions about natural systems we do not and cannot fully understand.
