Good News About Real American Stewardship
The damages done by the destructive duo of right wing, regressive Republicanism, George the Lesser and Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious, continue unabated. It can be very depressing.
However, good things are happening and it's great to be able to focus on some positive news like:
Behind the Santa Monica College cafeteria kitchen, hundreds of thousands of red wriggler worms consume 3 1/2 tons of food scraps yearly that would have overloaded landfills and add methane and greenhouse gas emissions to pollute the environment.
According to the Los Angeles Times article, the college's recycling coordinator calls these waste warriors, "excellent employees....they produce prime fertilizer which is used around the campus."
As Joe Robinson reports, "After eons of doing the planet's dirty work, a critter slagged as slime and vermin on a good day is finding a place in the hearts of green fans as a composting superhero. Nature's built-in recycling program, composting breaks down organic waste through controlled decomposition -- rot, a process worms accelerate through tireless munching and excreting. Once seen as a realm of DIY dead-enders, composting is becoming cool as landfills run out of space."
This healthy environmental system of organic waste disposal and natural recycling could reduce landfills by the 30% of residential garbage that is organic if implemented by communities nationwide.
Other good news:
"The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals today announced its ruling that the Bush government violated the law by ignoring global warming when it set national gas-mileage standards for SUVs and pickup trucks.
“This ruling is a big help in holding the Bush administration accountable for its refusal to accept the realities of global warming and forcing it to start taking responsible actions to implement the obvious solutions,” said Kassie Siegel, Climate, Air, and Energy program director for the Center for Biological Diversity."
And more good news:
The Center for Biological Diversity has initiated lawsuits against Bush's corrupt and politicized Department of the Interior and its US Fish and Wildlife Service in the first phase of a national campaign to protect 55 endangered species and 8.7 million acres that have been stripped of protection by that Bushite politicized department and agency and its Bush flunkies.
The lawsuits in this first phase cover six endangered species and hundreds of thousands of acres from Montana to Alabama. It is a campaign to protect these species and habitats for current and future generations as stewards of nature in this country.
