A 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.

On Days that It was Too Cold... and The Air Conditioner was Blowing Cold Air... People Turned on SPACE HEATERS under their desks... REALLY! This Situation caused Extremely Large Energy Bills... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY! On Days that it was Too Hot and the Heater was Blowing... We Ran Small Electric Fans that blew on us as we were sitting at our computers... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY!

and... 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!

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...

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...

Commercial Solar LED Street Lighting: THERE ARE MANY MANUFACTURERS... HERE IS ONE...

Lighting for Streets and Roadways Provided by Sustainable Solar Power... SEPCO’s solar powered street lighting systems are an efficient means to provide lighting without the need for standard utility power. Every system provides cost savings by eliminating the need to trench standard electric wires for installation and providing no electric bill for the life of the system. Solar street lights have been installed on highways, freeways, neighborhood streets, rural roads, etc. and provide security, sustainability and an overall green image.

I did The Harmonic Convergence 2020 Last Night at 9 PM and Really Enjoyed the Sunset and the Emergence of the Constellation of The Big Dipper... Which reminds me of the Song - Follow the drinking Gourd - all about slaves escaping to the North... anyway... there was a gentle breeze and I totally delighted in the trees moving... the meditation DID MAKE ME MORE AWARE... No Aliens BUT... Maybe Tonight... 7/14/2020 Interesting Analog Synthesizer Sounds... and Bells... Playing in the Background of this video... That reminds me of a Band I Played in during the 1980s... We Had a Random assembly of Synthesizer Players and Guitarists assemble in a friends basement... with a LASER Lightshow... and we made... Cosmic Noises until the sun came up... really got into a Fine Trance...

How to Disrupt the Military Industrial Complex. A Step by Step Guide to the Violet Overgrow of the US Government. - by gvan42

First Realize that: We Waste a Lot of Engineering Talent Designing Better Weapons. Those Draftsmen, Designers and Engineers COULD BE Doing Something Useful With Their Life BUT, Sadly, They Work for LaughHead, Raytheon, Dow and DuPont...

There ARE Meetings where Employees Decide WHICH CONTRACTS TO BID ON. We Simply Started Bidding on Civilian Projects. https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2019/09/how-to-disrupt-military-industrial.html

Indivisible Action: Nationwide Call Your Senators Day - END THE SHUTDOWN - NO MONEY FOR TRUMPS WALL - (202) 224-3121.

https://www.senate.gov/general/contacting.htm

What you can do now:
First, call or email your two Senators and tell them to reject Trump’s extreme anti-immigrant bill and instead open up the government now! There will be two votes in the Senate this week, one on Trump’s anti-immigrant bill and one on a clean continuing resolution that would fund the government through Feb. 8. We need to make sure that the Senate doesn’t pay Trump’s ransom. Tell them to:

Vote NO on Trump's racist, anti-immigrant bill.
Vote YES on a clean CR.

end the shutdown - no money for wall graphic by greg vanderlaan

Then, check in with your House Representative to make sure they know you oppose Trump’s wall ransom. The House has done its job by passing funding bills and sending them over to the Senate, where McConnell has refused (until now) take any of them up. But we’re hearing House offices are getting calls from conservative groups who want Trump’s wall.

Call your House Representative and tell him/her you don’t want your taxpayer dollars going to fund Trump’s wall.

On Wednesday, January 23rd we’ll be taking national coordinated action across the country with a National Call Day—join in by calling 844-236-2373 (and then post a picture of your call!).

Office visits. As always, in-person actions are the most impactful way to pressure your MoCs. When you’re there, ask Democratic Senators to oppose the White House immigration bill when the Senate votes on it, and continue opposing any legislation unrelated to the shutdown. Ask Republican Senators to publicly pressure Mitch McConnell to put the House-passed legislation to a vote in the Senate. And if there are town halls on the weekend (or if Senate Recess still happens), folks should also go to those as well! Share your event photos and videos with us on Twitter @IndivisibleTeam and use the hashtag #TrumpShutdown so we can help amplify.

Phone calls. Keep up the pressure by making consistent phone calls using the script below. It’s even better if you can coordinate specific days that your whole group will make phone calls. And we’ll be having a National Call Day on Wednesday, January 23rd! Make a plan to make some calls to your Senator on the 23rd along with Indivisibles across the country—and don’t forget to share a picture or video of your call on social media. When you call, ask Democratic Senators to oppose the White House immigration bill when the Senate votes on it, and continue opposing any legislation unrelated to the shutdown. Ask Republican Senators to publicly pressure Mitch McConnell to put the House-passed legislation to a vote in the Senate.

Support federal workers. In addition to the above tactics, another way to help during the shutdown is support federal workers. Whether through food drives, lending a hand to folks in your community, etc., there are a variety of ways to take support these workers during the shutdown. While this may not be directly pressuring your Senator, it’s important to continuing showing up for folks who are struggling because of Trump’s shutdown.
