How to Reduce Plastic Waste. Simple Actions Anyone Can Do. #1. Never Buy Bottled Water. Filter Tap Water Instead.

Here's the Consumer Reports Guide of Filters that Remove Pollution from Tap Water... : 

https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/water-filters/

Did You Ever Notice that Water Bottled in Plastic TASTES like Plastic?  That's Plastic Going Into Your Body... 

Of Course, If You Shower in Toxic Waste Water... That's a Problem too... Your Skin Absorbs the Poison... That's Why a Whole House Filter is Best... Contact Your Local Plumber for advice and installation... or MOVE to a Safer Neighborhood. 

#2. Stop Drinking Coke... It's often packaged in Plastic Bottles... So is Pepsi, RC Cola, Mountain Dew and Generic Cola... I personally LOVE the HIGH I Get from Caffeine and Sugar... Especially when driving a car long distances! That's FUN! 

However... It is Possible to Simply Take Those Two Drugs without Dissolving them in a Flavored and Carbonated Beverage... TRY COFFEE... I Remember putting Brown Sugar and Nutmeg in a Cup of Coffee at the Coffee Shop and I FELT OPTIMISTIC! Buzzing Like a Bee and Enthusiastic About Life! Whee! 

Or Drink TEA... Or Drink Fruit Juice Made from a Concentrate... Avoid the Plastic Bottles!

Of Course, Caffeine is sold at the drug store in PILL Form... Especially Interesting is the Combo Pills with Aspirin, Acetaminophen and 65 mg Caffeine... Pain Relievers and Stimulant... Keep taking those and You'll end up driving from San Jose to Seattle... Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Myth of Plastic Recycling...

#5. Buy High Quality Tools that Last a Lifetime... I Have an Yamaha Acoustic Guitar and It Will Still be Wonderful 50 Years from Now... Look at Willie Nelson's Trigger... 

#6. I watch Kids Cartoons on TV and The Advertisements Aimed at Children Promote Endless Streams of Plastic Crap...  My Grandfather Make a Toy Train Set out of Wood and My Brother and I Both played with it... His Daughters Played with it... and His Grand Daughters Played with it... 

The Plastic Crap Toys are designed to break, be thrown away... and then the Parents need to buy MORE MORE MORE!

I say leave Nature ALONE but cut down on human reproduction to reach for a better, more equitable, balance. Humans have already altered, disrupted and destroyed far too much on the planet!  So much in fact, we’re causing thousands of species of animals, plants and insects to go extinct by the day! Enough is enough!  This Central Valley used to be home to deer, antelope, bear, and thousands of other species of both animals and plants.  Now they are crowed out by humans for growing endless mono-crops for human a cattle feed and housing.  Its selfish, greedy and insane. And not just here, the whole Earth is  being similarly destroy for human USE and its  the only home we have in the Universe!  All  because of not having the foresight to control our own  f’g numbers!

Of course, power hungry world and church leaders with politicians leading the way, like more and  more people to fill their coffers!!

back to the story now in progress: California Rice Farmers Pump Water from The Thermalito Afterbay Downstream from the Oroville Dam to Water Their Crops. This Year the Oroville Dam is at Historic Record Low Water Levels. So Low that the Hydro Electric Power Generating Station was TURNED OFF...

What IF? Would Pumping all that water out of the River and Into Fields that are Growing Crops Change the Climate of California's Central Valley? In the Summer, all that water would evaporate and then fall as rain when those clouds meet the Sierra Nevada Mountains... In General, the Wind Flows from West to East... WE NEED RAIN...

The Objection to Pumping the Sacramento River Dry is That Salmon Need the Water to Survive... and They Would Go Extinct... In That One River... Other Rivers, Like The Klamath and The Columbia and Rivers in Canada and Alaska would NOT Be Changed... and The Salmon Would Continue to Survive There...

and... What IF Salmon Became Extinct? The Drought is The Western USA Is Putting Salmon in the Klamath River in Danger Right Now... Even With The Dams being Removed...

It's Entirely Possible That Salmon are Not Important...

in the news today!

In anticipation of a multi-day, significant atmospheric river in Northern California, Governor Gavin Newsom today issued an executive order that would make it easier to divert and store excess water from incoming winter storms. The Governor signed the order after he received a briefing on the latest forecast for the storm.

The executive order also directs the Department of Water Resources and other state agencies to take action to maximize diversion of those excess flows to boost the state’s water storage in Northern California, including storage in San Luis Reservoir south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. These actions will help California replenish above-ground and groundwater storage that remains depleted in many parts of the state following multi-year droughts. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/01/31/governor-newsom-issues-executive-order-to-help-california-capture-and-store-more-water-from-upcoming-severe-storms/

Diagram of How to Build a
Solar Powered Desalinization Factory

There has been a LOT of Groundbreaking Engineering into building Desalinization Plants that use Solar Power to Pump the Seawater out of the Ocean and use MEMBRANE PURIFICATION to actually remove the salt... That's the same Reverse Osmosis Technology that is used at the Drinking Water Machines you see in front of Liquor Stores... 

Solar Oven by Humboldt State University's CCAT
https://ccat.humboldt.edu/

We ought to tell our Senators and Representatives that Solar Powered Desalinization is a Good Idea and a Practical Way to Solve The Problem of Not Enough Fresh Water for Drinking, Showering, Watering Crops, Filling Swimming Pools, Lawns and Making Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... 

Maybe they just don't know... 

Link to Your US Senators:
https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
Link to Your US House Representative:
https://www.house.gov/representatives

Here are 20 Simple Ideas to make the world a better place to live...

1. We ought to build a giant solar power desalinization plant in Southern California. Convert Seawater into drinking water, salt and electricity.  It would use solar reflectors to boil seawater and create steam. That steam would be used to drive turbines and create electricity. When the water cools it condenses into pure H2O and salt. The water would be sold to people for drinking, washing, watering livestock and watering plants. The salt could be sold or returned to the ocean if there are not enough customers... Camp Pendleton near San Diego would be an ideal location. Southern California is in need of water. There is a current proposal to use pipelines to move fresh water from the Sacramento River to be used by farmers and residents in SoCal. An alternative would be to just get the water from the ocean... There is an engineering break thru using solar power to pump the water out of the ocean but using membranes to do the purification. That's the same technology that is used in those drinking water dispensers you see out front of Liquor Stores.

We should also stop watering lawns in California. It's a cultural norm that is not practical in a state that is suffering drought. What if it became fashionable to have rock gardens or cactus? That's what they do in Arizona...

2. Convert human fat into electricity using exercise bicycle power generators. The kinetic energy created by people pedalling can be converted into electricity by using an alternator, diode and battery. Many people use stationary bicycles for exercise and these currently unused sources of power could be used to create electricity. People could sell the electricity to the power company.

3. We ought to cut spending at the Department of Defense and use the money for valuable projects. Simply stop the wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Africa and all those secret locations. Bring the soldiers and the weapons home. We currently waste a vast fortune on wars that accomplish nothing. We could spend the trillions currently wasted on Medicare for all, infrastructure, teacher's salaries or school supplies. Remember that the US Military has not DEFENDED the USA since 1945. We have only invaded other countries... Often, our invasions cause disaster. For Example: When we helped Saddam Hussein become President and then blew up Iraq. Not a brilliant idea. Then we left stockpiles of weapons that were stolen by ISIS, Arming Terrorists. If we had just stayed home we could have saved six trillion dollars... The War in Afghanistan is impossible to win. Why not "Declare Victory", bring the troops home and have big parades?

4. We ought to legalize and tax marijuana nationwide. Release all cannabis prisoners. This would reduce government spending and increase VOLUNTARY taxes collected. The prisoners could spend their time working for a living and supporting their own families. That would reduce the costs of welfare and food stamps.

5. We ought to impeach Trump. He is taking the country in the wrong direction. His agenda is to cut taxes for the rich and reduce pollution control costs in corporations. He wants to increase drilling for oil, gas and coal mining. That causes more pollution. Burning fossil fuels causes global warming. Climate Change will make large parts of the USA uninhabitable. The Gulf Coast and the East Coast will have hurricanes every year. The destruction will become more than we are able to repair.

6. We ought to fund basic research into clean energy projects. Better electric cars, solar energy, wind energy and wave/tidal power plants. Better batteries... Better air conditioners... We are fighting for our lives. This should be funded like The Manhattan Project of World War Two or the Moon Landing.

7. We ought to reduce the amount of electricity used. Marijuana farms often use grow lights indoors to simulate sunshine needed for plants to grow. We could simply move all farms outdoors. These indoor farms often use stolen power that is unregulated. I have seen explosions at the Humboldt Bay power plant due to unforeseen surges of electricity use. The criminals tap the power on the street side of the power meter to avoid paying for electricity. That makes the power companies guess about consumption and how big transformers need to be. Another way to reduce demand is to teach people that transformers consume electricity even when not being used if they are connected to the wall outlet. We should teach people that a power strip with an on/off switch can cut their bill.

8. We ought to reduce the amount of gasoline used by commuters by moving the office closer to home. Every day people commute to work and if corporations moved the location of office buildings to residential locations, we would save gas, increase time spent away from work and increase happiness of workers. For Example: Silicon Valley and San Francisco have many jobs for people that create software. The tech corporations have headquarters where the employees work. People drive many miles thru traffic jams to get to those headquarters. A better plan would be to split the corporate headquarters to many different locations in the suburbs. The people could co-ordinate their labor using the internet. The price of housing in Silicon Valley is very expensive in comparison to towns in the central valley. People should pay attention to commute time as an important factor in selecting a job. Currently people pay attention to pay rate, benefits and child care when selecting which job to take. They ought to have a choice of shorter commutes as well. It's an insane waste of time to drive to work. Riding the bus is much more fun.

9. We ought to change the EPA from Enabling Pollution Agency to Environmental Protection Agency. Under the Trump Administration we have seen a reduction of enforcement of laws prohibiting corporations from polluting the environment. Scott Pruitt wants to cut the costs corporations pay for ecology. And in a bizarre twist, he wants to change the rules for scientific research to prohibit health studies that protect the privacy of the people studied. HIPPA requires health information to remain private in any study of people's health. He also wants to prohibit reports from scientists that do business with the EPA while allowing reports from people hired by lobbyists. This would shift the reports in favor of polluting companies.

10. We ought to outlaw assault rifles. We outlawed machine guns and hand grenades in 1934. There is no need for assault rifles. NRA members often say that they need guns for hunting... So, we ought to allow rifles but not assault rifles. NRA members often say we need guns to protect our families... So, pistols can protect our families. We do not need bazookas, rocket launchers or anti-aircraft guns... We ought to protect our citizens from insane gunmen with assault rifles. Las Vegas, Columbine and Florida would not have been a mass murder without absurd firepower. Remember, when you have a gun in the home there is an increase in the chances of a gun accident. Suicide, shooting a family member during an argument and kids playing with guns actually increase the danger at home. NRA members say that we need guns to defend ourselves from the government. In a "Police State" the government keeps the people enslaved by first, taking away all the guns. They point to the USSR as an example. However, the police and US Army have vastly superior firepower and any defense of liberty by We The People is doomed to fail. Remember WACO and Ruby Ridge?

11. Police ought to stop murdering black men. Not only is it morally wrong to commit murder but it costs the taxpayers a lot of money. There is very little murder of white people by police but the culture of the police force seems to encourage murder of blacks. We ought to replace metal bullets with rubber bullets in all of our police forces. Rubber bullets do not kill people but they do cause a suspect to fall down and become easy to handcuff.

12. Remove corporate money from politics. Individual real people should be allowed to contribute to candidate's election fund but artificial "people" like corporations should be prohibited. They are only used to allow rich people to exceed limits of how much money anyone can contribute. This leads to what is in effect bribery. Politicians do what they are paid to do... pass laws that benefit the rich at the expense of the middle class and poor. What we have now is one dollar one vote not one man one vote like the founding fathers wanted. PAC (political action committees) are another way to allow rich people to exceed limits.

13. Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients decide what drugs are beneficial treatment. There is a body of medical research that says some illegal drugs help people with mental health problems. For Example: Terminally Ill people who fear their own death could be given psychedelics to ease their fear. That would be compassionate... What is gained by prohibition? The patients are going to die anyway... We simply do not know enough about health benefits to make an informed decision about medicinal psychedelics. We ought to learn.

14. Make companies that sell addictive opioid drugs pay extra taxes to fund treatment for patients that want to quit using their drugs. They caused a problem and profited by it... they should pay to clean up the mess.

15. We ought to take action to defend our elections. The Russians interfered with our election in 2016 causing Trump to win. Without Wikileaks, Trump would have lost. We also should stop using the electoral college. Majority Rule is a better system. Twice we have had the loser in the Presidential Election serve as President. Both times were disasters.

16. Free birth control and abortion for all. No one should be forced to give birth to an unwanted child. Choice should be available to anyone including people who cannot afford it.

17. Outlaw fracking. It causes drinking water pollution. The only people who benefit are the stockholders of oil companies. Water pollution causes health problems... real people get sick...

18. Outlaw ROUNDUP herbicide. It causes cancer. This chemical is widely used in the farming of California's central valley. Non Hodgkin's lymphoma is killing real people who work on the farms.

19. Close all Nuclear Power Plants. They create Atomic Waste that stays Radioactive for thousands of years. AND POISONOUS... The waste has to be stored safely and guarded to prevent terrorists from building a "Dirty Bomb" using the Depleted Uranium. Vast salaries will be spent on Armed Security Guards and warehouses.

20. Teach "Critical Thinking" in High School. Knowing when someone is lying to you is a valuable survival skill.
Introduce students to "Logical Fallacies" so they will be able to recognise them.

Sandy Erickson said:

I get really sick and tired of people bashing California and saying things that aren't true. Yes, it's extremely expensive to live here, and yes, there are a lot of homeless people here, and yes, that's a bad thing. But it's NOT TRUE that our streets and sidewalks are covered with human waste. I realize that homeless people living in encampments don't usually have access to a proper bathroom, so they have to go somewhere, and that's not good. But they're not just using the streets and sidewalks everywhere. That is ridiculous, and it's a lie being perpetuated by right-wing media...but other people are hearing that lie and repeating it as if it's the truth, but it's not. If you listen to right-wing media, they'll lead you to believe that the streets of San Francisco are covered with feces and syringes and that there's tons of crime everywhere, like some kind of war zone or something. But every time I go to San Francisco, it looks exactly the same as it always has. I've never seen human waste anywhere on the streets or sidewalks of San Francisco or San Jose. I'm not denying that it's probably there somewhere, probably in areas with the biggest homeless encampments. But unless you're walking through an encampment, you're not going to see that. San Francisco is a beautiful, vibrant city with a lot of energy and a lot of interesting things to see and do. It's not some filthy war zone, and it gets really tiring having to explain that to people who blindly believe everything they hear on Fox news.
From what I've been told by multiple different people, homelessness is a problem in big cities all over the US right now. The right-wing media loves to focus on San Francisco, and they love to say that it's only cities run by Democrats that have homelessness. But from my understanding, this is absolutely not true. Big cities all over the country are dealing with homelessness, and it has nothing to do with whether or not the city is run by Democrats. Again, this is a right-wing LIE.
The only thing wrong with California is overcrowding. This is due to too many people wanting to live here, and we just don't have room for so many people, so the cost of living keeps going up and the homeless population continues to grow. Many people think the solution to this is building more housing. I have mixed feelings about that, because they ARE building housing on every available piece of land, and yet the cost of housing continues to go up. Every new high-density apartment building is more expensive than the last. So basically, what they're doing is building housing that only the wealthy can afford. If they would actually build housing which is affordable to lower-income people, then maybe I'd agree that it's a good thing. But endless luxury housing is not helping the situation.
Bottom line: people want to be here. They can't build housing fast enough to keep up with demand, and it doesn't matter how expensive the new housing is, people always pay whatever it costs because that's how badly they want to be here. Do you think people would be willing to pay $5000 a month for an apartment if the streets were really littered with human waste and syringes? If that were true, CA would be a barren wasteland of empty apartments because nobody would want to live in such a filthy place. But it's NOT filthy. It's beautiful and desirable, and that's why people are willing to pay so much to live here. Don't believe the right-wing LIES.
