Top 10 Reasons to Move to Colorado Some Day
1. Lots of recycling. It’s impossible not to recycle in CO. As an apartment-dweller who has attempted to recycle in Orlando, this would be quite a change of pace, in a good way. [2] [3]
2. Lots of biking. On average in the cities I visited, everything is within biking distance for normal everyday needs. Work, food, groceries, and entertainment.
3. Wind and solar power. Many restaurants, businesses, and even the local governments advertise their ecological friendliness by being 100% wind powered. [2] [3]
4. Sense of humor. Everyone, including all the nice people and interesting businesses, seem to have a great sense of humor and humility.
5. Beautiful, well-recognized university campuses.
Colorado State University
University of Colorado
6. Delicious vegan, organic food. Vegan food options at every restaurant and store. There were even several specialty shops (making them not so unusual). While I’ve never had much of a problem, Colorado would certainly make shopping and dining more convenient.
7. Lively festivals. We saw the Boulder Creek Festival and the Boulder Bolder 10k. And that was only one weekend of fun! [2]
8. Great local stores and co-ops. Everywhere.
9. Four seasons of weather. I was fortunate to see Colorado during the summer. Having more seasons than “summer” and “hotter summer” would be nice change from Florida and Texas.
10. Beautiful mountain-y scenery. Pictures speak more than words in this case. [2]
