It's Not Just Climate Change..
"...we could end carbon emissions tomorrow and the Earth is still on a trajectory to ecologically overshoot its carrying capacity. The social movement to save the Earth and seek to enter an era of global ecological sustainability is a multi-front battle with overwhelmingly poor odds and terrifying consequences for failure.

Climate Change and Affordable Housing: Time to Make a Strong Connection
There’s no question the issue of climate change has reached a tipping point in America. Once relegated to technical journals and PBS documentaries, the national news media now splashes climate change issues across front pages and news broadcasts daily. States and cities throughout the country have begun their own initiatives to combat the problem, and the new Democratic-controlled House and Senate look poised to push the dialogue even further. One strategy in particular - increasing density i...

Opponents of Healthy Saturdays Wage Dishonest Battle
Battles at City Hall defy logic – we have small fights over big issues, and big fights over small issues. Last year, the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors came together to pass universal heath care with unanimous support. For a bold proposal that will impact the lives of thousands of San Franciscans, it was heartening to see it just sail through....

Its "Leave you Gas Guzzlin/Polluting Car Home Day!"
A single day's abstinence of gasoline usage in the U.S. would conserve hundreds of millions of gallons of gas from being consumed (and spewed as poisonous exhaust into our breathable atmosphere!) and would also vastly increase stockpiles of gasoline so that prices,and related taxes and fuel related inflations would have to come down!...

Why the recent Climate Report was so Harsh
Here is a collection of reports about the scientific
studies being conducted around the world from
just the past few months. These are the reports

projections. The first few have been published
after the Feb. 2 IPCC release.
The majority of them are from foriegn news
agencies and were never published in the US
media. Our corporate media wants you to know
every detail of a woman who decides...

Yosemite Slough by Candlestick Park saturated with PCBs and the most toxic area
Yosemite Slough by Candlestick Park is saturated with the most dangerous PCBs. Add to that lead, mercury, Chrome waste, dumped paint and tires, and over 40 of the most dangerous toxic elements and you have a cesspool that will take millions to clean up. The Navy's radiological contamination has not helped. The slow clean up allows this Slough a few hundred feet from Parcel E and the Shipyard to continue to pollute Yosemite Slough further - every single day....
