1. HISTORY- The Rocky Mountains have long been connected to Colorado history from Native Americans to early explorers and present-day settlements. 2. CULTURE- Early settlers “tamed” the West by settling in vast and remote areas to try their hand at ranching and farming. 3. ECONOMICS - Ranching, agriculture as well as mining have long been part of Colorado’s economic growth. 4. ISSUES & CHALLENGES – Mining and petroleum exploration has brought serious concerns about the ways in which is harvested. Fracking is newer technology that has raised eyebrows in many communities within Colorado. 5. CURRENT EVENTS – As of January 1, 2014, it is legal for people 21 years of age and older to purchase/possess (1 oz.) of marijuana in Colorado. The tax from these purchases are intended to benefit public education. Although legal their are concerns over its potential social ill effects.
