DRMS: Reclaiming Paradise
The people of the Colorado town of Crested Butte solved a very old environmental problem. Community members worked cooperatively with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety to clean up the land around the abandoned Peanut Mine. This opened up the trail to the Oh Be Joyful Wilderness area, and eliminated a very unsightly, toxic mine waste dump. This video explains the project. It was produced by Renaissance Media.
