" I eat meat and I drive a car- sue me" Careful, don't give CA legislators any ideas. This sounds like something they'd actually do.
I could give you statistics all day long about the harm HUMAN living does to this planet- almond milk lovers are the BIGGEST WATER abusers on earth, so whatever. I eat meat and I drive a car- sue me!
I was floored when she promised “new leadership that will lead us to progress and not stagnation,”. That's you! For the past 8 years you've literally been the leadership that brough us stagnation.
In kindness, it takes 70% of our water and over 60% of our use able land to produce food for factory raised animals so it is a little more than how people nourish themselves. We would eat out more often if the choices weren't so similar. Oh, and more than half of our medical grade antibiotics are used on these animals. Negative or not I hope one person beside Jenna is concerned.
The university is in dire straights with the budget and this is how they are courting donors? Who are these donors who are SO concerned with making sure there is housing for the Chancellor, what do they expect in return? The whole thing stinks.
as everyone else has stated here, eucalyptus trees are a serious hazard and liability. there is zero benefit to having them. they don't belong here and replanting is the best option.
I cannot in any way support Kristen Sneddon for mayor. A the end of the "Newsmakers W/Jr," interview on You Tube she said she will start her campaign by having a listening tour. I thought, what has she been doing for the eight years on the council? Obviously talking, from what I've seen. I admit, I have a condition, I'm fascinated by local politics and I watch every council meeting. Now the meetings are on You Tube so I can watch anywhere. I don't agree with Randy Rowse on every issue but I think he's doing a good job. Why change horses in the middle of the stream, as the saying goes? And State street was a stream Saturday night! A gross river of human pathogens and flotsam. In the interview Kristen said she was in favor of an approved plan to put trees down the middle of one block but "leadership" had blocked it. Yeah, hello! I could visualize trees in 24" boxes floating by. I could go on but I'll leave it at that. We've got a year until the election.
Every non-human that isn't domesticated gets eaten either alive or dead. Our world is full of carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.
Not so unusual to eat the flesh of dead animals.
Well, so much for naturalizing koalas....
They have very small root system (anchor) considering the weight, density and height making them prone to falling in wet windy conditions- aside from the fire hazard.
The sandos look amazing. Cant wait to give it a try.
There's a huge eucalyptus down in Hidden Valley across from Valle Verde retirement community. That tree would flatten any house. Would not want one in fall radius of where I live.
The trees too big to trim, and given their old age, pose a significant falling and fire hazard because there is a high powered gas line running underneath them. They are expensive to maintain (annual trimming costs a fortune) and they not native to the area. They will be replaced with native trees and other native landscaping and hopefully an improved trail. The open air space will be beautiful as well. Several community groups will be involved to ensure that this will be an overall improvement to this area.
complaining about how others choose to nourish themselves is so weird- 1 to 3% of the population is vegan with 15% vegetarian- so it's the norm to eat animal based protein.
Really sad about the Atlanta flight :( Seems they are increasing the routes to SLC from SB though.
Oaks actually slow fire progression and are native. Eucalyptus are messy and dangerous and can spread fires with their giant embers they send off.
Too bad Delta abandoned the ATL route. That was a nice flight !
Yes! Reminds me of the old footage of the Painted Cave fire that KEYT pulls out every fire season- of the lady screaming “ where is the fire dept” while her hair whips around her face- as if the fire dept could battle the ferocious winds in that cul du sac.
I don't know the answer but why don't you turn on the way back machine 3 million years and ask the question.
Because they're hazards. They fall down in wet years, burn like roman candles in dry years. Their bark and their leaves smother native plants and they suck up more water than a grove of coastal oaks. They offer no value to wildlife nor the ecology at large and are in fact a case study for man's hubris and willful ignorance. Cut them all down. Every last one.
Dude, If we have a fire of that magnitude nothing will help, You are the problem!
Hallelujah on the eucalyptus trees being removed. They are not indigenous to this area and pose a major fire and falling hazard. The more of them we can remove from the region the better.
In my humble opinion, removing the majestic eucalyptus trees seems diabolical! Why on earth would someone want to remove them??
I hate "sando" too but it's a national trend, I don't think we can blame this one on the "new arrivals"....
Very
Eating dead cooked animals is so weird, not to mention how terrible it is for one's health and the environment. Why is this still the norm? So over all these new restaurants opening that don't offer anything truly healthy, ethical, creative or high quality. Ah well... missed opportunities.
