World Environment Day (WED).

by Francisco Da Costa (frandacosta [at] att.net)
World Environment Day turned Week is a Farce. World Leaders and dignitaries will be taken to Dog and Pony Shows and real Quality of Life Issues will not be addressed.
World Environment Day (WED) turned Week June 1 - June 5, 2005 in San Francisco and the Bayarea in a Farce. World Leaders and other dignitaries will gather in San Francisco to pay tribute to the Environment. As a representative of the First People of the Bayarea the Muwekma Ohlone - I am requesting everyone to pay respect to Mother Earth. It is important to understand that all that you see today was stolen from the Ohlone many years ago. 18 treaties signed between the United States government and the California Tribes were broken. While the First People inspite of the injustice tolerate those strangers that live in California - the First People do not stand for pollution and adversely impacting all Life Forms. The First People do not stand for our infants dying from pollution. Further is is wrong for some environmentalists that take money from the City and County of San Francisco and the San Francisco Environment (SFE) to try to vouch for what is good and environmentally friendly trying to represent the wider population.. It is wrong for Literacy for Environmental Justice (LEJ) and Dana Lanza to take 5000 children to Pier 98 which is a toxic dump. It is wrong for Greenaction to take money from SFE - this is blood money. It is wrong for folks that do not live in San Francisco to pretend that they work and love and fight for San Franciscans. It is wrong for Jared Blumenfeld, Karen Kubbick, Susan Leal, Gavin Newsom, Jesse Blout to place 3 Combustion Turbines using very expensive fossil fuel in the Southeast Sector. Using treated sewage water to cool the system and release pathogens into the air. It is wrong for the Transit First City that is San Francisco to NOT encourage Public Transportation. It is wrong for our City - the City and County of San Francisco to allow our infants to die and suffer from dangerous toxins in the air, water, and on land. The First People and more the Muwekma Ohlone Respect the Land, the Water, the Wind, and the Sky. We do not respect those that perform Dog and Pony Shows. We do not respect those with forked tongues - leading the pack of hyenas - Gavin Newsom and Jared Blumenfeld. We do not respect those sellouts like LEJ, Greenaction, and a host of folks that take money from the crooks like SFE and Jared Blumenfeld and others and pretend that they are for the environment. Actions speak louder then words.
