future of city living snapshot 141016 evening


This story speaks volumes.  Where did the virus come from, obviously introduced, or, is it now creating havoc in a new landscape thanks to human caused climate chaos (HCCC)?
 
The unraveling of the interconnected web of chemistry and physics known as life on Earth will be well documented, even as we eat all of the available protein production of the planet within 20 years.  
Humans already weigh more than all wild prey animals on the planet.  

How does the top predator maintain that ratio?  Not in nature it won't!

But since we converted 30% of the world's non-ice covered land surface to livestock production, no problema, as long as the cheap energy holds up...thank you natural gas, just a false choice, and so palatable, since it's low price has nothing to do with it's VALUE or it's TRUE COST.

It's another very much convenient (ostrich like) reason for no one to pay the true cost of carbon pollution.

If we were charged the true costs, no one would be driving in a car alone.  Period

data published in Science indicate more than three quarters of the world's 31 large carnivore species are in decline and that 17 species occupied less than half of their historical distributions.

A study released earlier this year showed Australia's mammal extinction rate was the highest in the world, with more than 10 percent of species wiped out since Europeans settled the country two centuries ago.

The real version of what I didn't send to john and ken at KFI

You said plastic bags "are only .0X% of all the trash!

In 2012, the total trash in the world was 2.6 TRILLION pounds**. 

2,600,000,000,000 lbs
.004 (Let's say O.4 % of the total is plastic bags...)

        That eliminates 10400000000 pounds 

                                  or 
               
           5,200,000 TONS less garbage on the planet.

I'm far more concerned that you are not in favor of cotton bags, and personal responsibility, but I can't forget you are clear chan...umm I mean iHeart...the corporate interests take precedent.

Your usual attempt to be Populist is too funny!  Ask the ACLU what your right to convenience is...and sue somebody!

Isn't it really because you guys can't remember to take the reusable bag in from the car?

I was going to say some things about sewer lines and wildlife, but decided to google it instead.


Gives you all the reasons in the world why .004 part of garbage ought to be eliminated, and so easily!

I'm a volunteer in the "'fourth most extremist environmental group'", which is rather hilarious since we're an individual choice, there is no "group", it's simply individuals sharing the knowledge that there are others like ourselves, who will not procreate.

To Halloween fans everywhere...

Greetings!

Oct 31, 2014 is on a Friday.

Two Blocks South of my abode:

It's fun to walk the Carnaval, if you're ready!

I'll be home.

Get here before 4  and you may get lucky with a close parking space.  Parking Permit restrictions are NOT in force, but make sure you curb your wheels on any slope...

We'll pre-party, and walk down between 7:30 and 8.  
No telling when it will end exactly, perhaps when feet give out.

Food is on me.

BYOB

Directions provided, let me know you're coming!
A+A - any French Friends?
DP - Bring M!
IT - easier to park a motorcycle...like in my garage even.

Enjoy!
