No fake snow on San Francisco Peaks
The Ninth Appeals Court in San Francisco ruled in favor of several tribes to protect the Sacred Ground on San Francisco Peaks in Arizona. The final adjudication has been posted else where on this site. This victory sends a green signal to all First People that the right of the Native Americans should be protected.

Navy shaft Mayor Gavin Newsom early transfer by Navy is no option without cleanup
Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is not the Presidio of San Francisco. The Navy will not consider any early transfer especially with very serious pollution issues found on Parcel B with methane gas communicating over a very large area. The Navy bears liability and will not transfer large tracts of land without some major elements linked to liability in place. The SF City and County has very poor standing in this region....

Lennar Corp. defies reason and logic and continues to pollute the environment

S.F. Gets Second Chance to Cut Down on Plastic Bags
Two years ago, San Francisco had a chance to significantly impact the amount of garbage we produce while drastically reducing the costs of recycling and garbage disposal – by imposing a 17-cent fee on each plastic bag distributed at large grocery stores.

This is a Big Victory in recent times in favor of Mother Earth, the First People, and good children, men, and women. Aho....
