Since 2000, a group in Boulder, Colorado has been playing grass bike polo weekly.

They are welcoming new players to join their games by getting on their mailing list.

The group is open to anyone interested in trying out the  sport and encourages participation from all skill levels.

If you're in the area and looking to get involved in a fun and active community, consider joining the  grass bike polo games in Boulder.

Denver has launched a new bilingual climate campaign called "Do more.

Do less.

Do something." to encourage citywide action towards sustainability.

The campaign aims to inspire residents to make small changes in their daily lives that can have a positive impact on the environment.

Through a series of interactive events, workshops, and resources, Denver hopes to engage the community in taking meaningful steps towards reducing their carbon footprint and creating a more sustainable future.

✅ Tips to Avoid Being Scammed

  • Always verify the identity of someone contacting you about financial or legal issues — call the official organization using contact info you find independently (not from the message).

  • Be extra cautious with emails/links, especially if they create urgency or fear.

  • Never give out PINs, account passwords, or sensitive details to unknown contacts.

  • If someone asks you to change vendor payment info, check with someone you have contacted before (e.g. via phone number you already had on file).

  • For housing vouchers or government help: don’t pay to apply or to be included in a waiting list unless you confirm directly with the official agency.
