Bozone Orgs is a community email list, based around environmentally-minded folks centered in SW Montana. It was originally an Excel spreadsheet, a batch of CC names, and later hosted for years by NPOgroups.org. Everyone who was subscribed using NPOgroups.org will be/has been migrated to this new system.
