What if we installed electric power generators on every exercise bicycle nationwide... We could replace coal burning power plants and help reverse global warming/climate change. These bicycles let a person spin an automobile alternator using pedal power. Built by CCAT at Humboldt State University

What if EVERY health club had these? What if Rowing Machines, Treadmills, Weight Lifting Universal Gyms and Stair Steppers had Generators? Imagine Pumping Iron and When the Weights Move Down they Spin an Alternator... We Have the Technology... 

There are Thousands of Health Clubs That COULD BE Generating Electricity but DO NOT... I Emailed PELOTON Exercise Bicycle Company but they Ignored Me,,,

From blockages to weekly protests, environmental campaigners in Germany are angry at the continued extraction of coal. Euronews' Hans von der Brelie heads to one of the world’s largest opencast pits, Garzweiler II, to witness for himself the battle to close the country's lignite mines.

I arrive at sunrise, overwhelmed by the beauty of the industrial landscape, which stretches as far as the eye can see. An abstract pattern of earth and lignite layers bathed in the early morning light.

But it’s a deadly beauty: if all those hundreds of millions of tonnes of coal actually do get excavated and burnt, Germany can say goodbye to its climate targets. In recent years the country has started waking up to what climate catastrophe might actually look like: blisteringly hot summers and apocalyptic rainfall that has the ability to sweep both towns and lives away.

Ahead of the international climate change conference COP26 in Glasgow, German climate activists have been pressuring Berlin to exit coal earlier than scheduled.

At the Garzweiler opencast lignite pit, they took things a step further, blocking the movement of giant bucketwheel excavators.

Also at a nearby forest, they built tree houses to try to stop the expansion of the pit.

Germany portrays itself as a climate leader. But it’s still razing villages for coal mines... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/10/23/germany-coal-climate-cop26/
LÜTZERATH, Germany — The yawning black-brown scar in the earth that is Germany’s Garzweiler coal mine has already swallowed more than a dozen villages.Centuries-old churches and family homes have been razed and the land they were built on torn away. Farmland has disappeared, graveyards have been emptied.

“All destroyed for coal,” said Eckhardt Heukamp, surveying the vast pit that drops away from the edge of his fields, 20 miles west of Cologne.

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~
LUETZERATH, Germany (AP) — Hundreds of anti-coal activists staged protesters in and around a mine in western Germany on Saturday, demonstrating against the continued extraction and use of fossil fuels in Europe’s biggest economy.

Environmental groups oppose the German government’s decision to allow the mining and burning of coal in the country until 2038, a deadline the activists say is too late to effectively tackle climate change.

Activists, dressed in colored overalls and braving wind and rain, were also protesting the planned destruction of several villages to make way for the expansion of the Garzweiler strip mine, west of Cologne.

I have an Online Store Called Zazzle/Gregvan That Sells Merchandise Made in Fremont, California and Reno, Nevada...  My Original Artwork is Printed on T-ShirtsButtonsStickers etc etc etc - I Also Sell a LOT of Political Slogans... Embroidered on Hats or Printed on Bumper Stickers! All My Royalties Donated to Charity!

If you want a Custom Design Printed on a Product... EMAIL ME... and If It Doesn't Violate Copyright, I'll Do It! gregvan(at)yahoo(dot)com...

SAVE MONEY by NOT BUYING CHINESE JUNK! Thrift Store Treasures are "What's Happenin'" Now!

I See in the News That There is Trouble Unloading Cargo Ships from Overseas... Well, SO Freaking WHAT? 

I Already Have Everything I Want... The Secret Trick is NOT Wanting Much! That Way It's Easy to Get Everything I Want.

http://www.eurekarescuemission.org/Thrift_Store/Thrift_Shop.html Link to The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop on Highway 101 in Eureka, CA... I Bet with a Little Research You Could find a Similar Store in Your Town! Goodwill, Saint Vincent de Paul, Volunteers of America... 


Remember! Buying Used is 
Ecologically Friendly!

I won't be Buying any of This...

When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It. Their Computers Automatically Order another Product to Keep the Shelves Stocked... 

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF! 

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

On the Other Hand... You Can Buy Stuff that's Already Made in the USA... For Example: Zazzle/Gregvan offers Gifts that are Made in Reno, Nevada... and The Corporation Headquarters is Located in Fremont, CA...

The New 15% Corporate Minimum Tax Will Pay for the Student Loan Forgiveness Program. It's Like Robin Hood... Take From the Rich and Give to the Poor. MY Taxes Didn't Increase... So I'm Not Paying a Penny for this New Program. 

$238 Billion Dollars will now be Spent by Students at Businesses... Increasing Profits... and Increasing Taxes Paid on those Profits... This is a Classic Example of BUBBLE UP! Economics... EVERYBODY WINS!

In Reality, Who Pays for the Student Loan Forgiveness Program? NOT YOU and NOT ME. There is No New Increase in YOUR Taxes... So YOU Do Not Pay for this New Expense... SOMEONE Pays and That's the Billionaires...

and Tax Cheats Will Be Paying for the Student Loan Forgiveness Program. THEIR Taxes Will be Going UP This Year. NOT MINE! The IRS is Hiring! and They Will Be COLLECTING MORE Just When Money Will Be Needed to Pay for The New Expense...

My Student Loans Were Totally Worth It! Graduating Doubled my Rate of Pay! After Graduating with a BSCS (Computer Science), I got a Job that Paid twice as much as I Had ever been Paid Before... and Put my Student Loan on Auto Pay... It was Gone in 5 Years... HOWEVER... I went to Humboldt State University where the Tuition is LOW... What if You went to School in a State that was NOT CALIFORNIA? Then You would have a Massive Student Loan Debt... What if You Didn't Graduate in a PRACTICAL MAJOR? and Ended up Making Tacos at Taco Bell again... There are Many Majors that are Totally Useless... At HSU if You Studied Nursing or Computers You did Great! but those "whooptie-doo" Majors left Students with a Huge Pile of Debt and NO SELLABLE SKILLS!


and "SG" on FaceBorg Asked: Why should I be responsible for your student loan debt? 

and I Responded: You are not Responsible under the Biden Plan... All of this is paid for by Taxing the Super Rich. There is no Increase to Your Taxes... There is a 15% Tax on Billionaires... and The IRS WILL be Auditing Tax Cheats... That's where the Money Comes from...

Fact check: If you don't make $400,000, you are not paying more taxes for anyone's student loans.

Not one dime.

Owning a Gun Makes Your Own Family Less Safe and Puts the Rest of Us In Danger. To Make the World a Better Place to Live, Turn in Your Firearms to the Police Before Someone Gets Hurt... It's Simple.


Owning a Gun Makes Your Own Family Less Safe and Puts the Rest of Us In Danger.




Every Police Department Will Help you get Rid of Guns. Some even Offer to Pay You! Contact Your Local Police for How To Instructions. Call Them BEFORE You Go So they Won't Be Afraid of You When You Appear at the Station with a Gun...

https://www.redondo.org/depts/police/police_services/property_and_evidence/surrender_firearms.asp

Remember: Many Criminals Steal Their Guns During a Burglary of Your Home. Surrender Firearms to the Police Before Your Gun is Used to Kill Someone and then is Traced Back to You... 
GUNS DO NOT SAVE LIVES - reality - meme - gvan42

Owning a Gun ACTUALLY makes your Family Less Safe. If Your Plan of Owning a Gun to Defend Your Family WORKED IN REALITY I Would Be In Favor of it. But Sadly, It Doesn't. 
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9715182/ "Conclusions: Guns kept in homes are more likely to be involved in a fatal or nonfatal accidental shooting, criminal assault, or suicide attempt than to be used to injure or kill in self-defense."

In the national debate over gun violence—a debate stoked by mass murders such as last December’s tragedy in a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school—a glaring fact gets obscured: Far more people kill themselves with a firearm each year than are murdered with one. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/magazine/magazine_article/guns-suicide/

You May Simply take any Guns in Your Possession to the police and they will dispose of them. Here is How. https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/disposal-unwanted-firearms

People should also know that if they have a gun – legally registered or not – that they want to get rid of and make sure it doesn’t end up on the street, they can contact the police. We’ll take the gun, and as long as it has not been used in a crime, they won’t face any penalties for possessing it.

 Here is A How To Article from the Newspaper:

In 2017 Trump Signed the Help Crazy People Buy Guns Law - #MAGAKillers Suck

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-joint-resolution/40

This joint resolution nullifies the “Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 - rule finalized by the Social Security Administration on December 19, 2016. The rule implements a plan to provide to the National Instant Criminal History Background Check System the name of an individual who meets certain criteria, including that benefit payments are made through a representative payee because the individual is determined to be mentally incapable of managing them.

(Current law prohibits firearm sale or transfer to and purchase or possession by a person who has been adjudicated as
a mental defective.)

NOW, A Person That is Getting Social Security Disability FOR INSANITY Can Have That Fact Erased from a Gun Background Check. 


Trump Overturned the longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by the mentally ill. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hjres40/summary
