Travel Causes Climate Change - JUST DON'T GO! Burning Gasoline in Cars to Go to Grandma's House? That's CRAZY!

How To Stop Climate Change. Cut Driving 50% in Cars and Trucks that Burn Gasoline. End Flying in Jet Airplanes. JUST DON'T GO! 

Just Last Summer, Instead of Riding in a Car to my Brother's Wedding... I Watched it On ZOOM... Glad I Did! Not Only a waste of Gasoline, but the Hotel was Expensive! I Would Have Gone but My In-Law Was Supposed to Drive and Cancelled at the Last Minute. and I Don't Own a Car... 

Here are Some Simple Ecological Actions that Anyone Can Do! 

Let's Move Office Jobs to Vacant Shopping Mall Stores. That would cut commuting to work a lot. And People would have an extra hour a day to play with their kids... or Whatever makes You Beatific!

90% of Jet Airplane Travel Is Not Needed... It's Voluntary Creation of Air Pollution that Causes Global Warming... Have a Zoom Meeting instead!

Another Ecology Tip!

When It's Too Cold, Turn Off the Air Conditioning... We Could Save a LOT of Electricity if OSHA Didn't Require That Public Buildings Run The A/C When It's Already Too Cold.

At Work We Had the Freedom to place an Electric Space Heater under our Desks. So the Air Conditioning was Running AT THE SAME TIME as the Space Heaters. Using Vast Amounts of Power... as the Heaters Fought the Coolers! 

Really! I'm Not Making This UP!

I believe this is a CAL/OSHA Issue and So I wrote to My California Representative: Find Yours!

When It's Too Cold, Turn Off the Air Conditioning - meme - gvan42 purple64ets

Another Simple Way to Save Electricity in Buildings. Allow Windows TO OPEN so that Outside Air Can Freely Blow In... Allow Humans to Control the Thermostat. #Activist #Ecology #Environment

About Half the Time, the Weather Outside is Fine... No Need to Run an Air conditioner OR a Heater... Just Leave those Machines OFF, Using Zero Energy. Just Open a Window and Enjoy the Fresh Air...  

In Modern Office Buildings The Windows Do Not Open and The Thermostat is Set by OSHA Regulation. 

I worked for Years in an Office Where the Thermostat was Locked inside a Box to Prevent Employees from Changing the Temperature. OFTEN The Setting was WRONG and People took Action to Correct it. 

We Found that The Plastic Box Around the Thermostat Could be Defeated Using a Fingernail File... Look at YOUR Thermostat in YOUR Office... so we changed the temperature AND NEVER TOLD THE BOSS... "It's Magic! I Have NO IDEA How The Thermostat Changed... " and It's a Classic Example of a MAN designing a Machine and TOTALLY FORGETTING THAT A COMMON TOOL could defeat the Machine... Because Only a WOMAN has a Fingernail File in her Purse... HA HA!

Ecology - a Concept Not Grasped by Monster Truck Guy - meme - gvan42


Adobe Houses are Very Energy Efficient and Quiet. Thick Mud Walls stay Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter. AND THEY RESIST FOREST FIRES... Tile Roofs Don't Burn!


When we rebuild Paradise and Santa Rosa, California it might be an Opportunity to Use Smart Design Ideas. I remember going inside the Mission Santa Clara on a Hot Summer Day... It was Cool... and Dark... Stained Glass Windows...
Built over 200 years ago, it has withstood Earthquakes. Especially 1906 San Francisco and Oakland During the World Series Baseball Game...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

Protest Army Jeep Washington DC
Protestors overturn an army jeep in the Reflecting Pool during the "Honor America Day Smoke-In" in Washington, D. C. on July 4, 1970.

If you haven't gotten a copy yet, my book has all kinds of captivating photos and memories from my activism, ranging nearly 50 years:
and I Commented... 
I went to a Lot of Anti-War Protest Marches in Washington DC During George Bush The Father's Iraq War. Including Tripping on LSD in Lafayette Park... and Walking to the Lincoln Memorial... Where we were FACED WITH A CHOICE... The Parade permit expired at 4 PM and anyone In The Street at 4:01 Would be Arrested... WELL, Should I Get Arrested? or Not? Would going to Jail be "A Trippy Experience?" - I chose to NOT get arrested and spent the rest of my Trip in the Smithsonian...

I also got to play the drums in Lafayette Park... in Big Drum Circles...Including a Big Bass Drum Used in a Marching Band... 
A guy said: I'm tired, YOU play this for a while... and That was EPIC...

The REPUBLICAN PARTY is PULLING LEVER TO TRAP DOOR
ONLY BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH AT BEING BAD
By Victoria Williams on FB
They’re rejecting him not because of the countless ways in which he inflamed and imperiled this country, not because he’s an offense to decency and an enemy of democracy, not because he degrades almost anything and anyone he brushes up against.
They’re just peeved at his losing streak.
It’s about math, not morals, and for that reason, there will quite possibly be a next Trump and a Trump after that.
I don’t mean Ivanka, his fair-weather fair-haired daughter, whose self-absorption is self-evident in the studied distance she now keeps from dotty old Dad.
I don’t mean Don Jr., who has her gift for grift but not her guile.
I mean someone whose case to Republicans is about the attainment of power, not the exercise of principle, which the party torched in its dance with the Donald.
As best as I can tell, it hasn’t learned any lesson from that.
It’s just trying to plot a path out of the ashes.

Hotel at Crater Lake, Oregon

Fireplace inside the Historic Hotel at Crater Lake. After spending a night there I checked out and when I left... there was a solid sheet of Ice covering everything... so there was NO DRIVING POSSIBLE... and there was also NO WALKING TO MY VAN Either... so I turned Right around and went back to the Front Desk and Told 'em I wasn't leaving after all... and they gave me Stationary and Envelopes and I sat and Wrote letters to my Family while observing the Fire... then I ate a fine Breakfast... and The Ice had Melted...

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
