## Resource

The U.S. and Mexico just struck a historic deal to share the burden of the drying Colorado River—Mexico’s cutting 250,000 acre-feet annually, matching Arizona, California, and Nevada’s cuts, to prevent reservoirs from collapsing. This agreement, Minute 334, protects vital farms on both sides while funding critical wetland restoration for migrating birds. Tough sacrifice? Absolutely. But with cooperation, sustainability—and nature—is still possible. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
