SOME THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DONE NOW IN OUR BAY.
.Algae blooms, fish kills, and smelly water. Sounds like Baltimores waterways to me. If I can get some cooperation with EVERYBODY!, we can do some cool stuff. I have already posted "Trash for Cash". I have been paying attention to surface water quality too. Here is some things we can do to help mother nature reverse "Eutriphication". Okay here is a small list of habits we can adopt. Take public transit. Any given day of the week 10's of 1000's of vehicles are being driven with only the driver as passenger. "Carpool people". Buy your nice cars and drive them once a week to work. Carpool with peers and superiors. With all of the money you save you can actually go on vacation somewhere other than your living room. I've experienced this myself. Oh yeah you have a yard plant some vegetation. You have a patio, have a box planter. If you own a home with a roof, Hire someone like myself to clean out and fix up your gutters. You know with 'Down Spouts'. Here is the reason. With a clean gutter and properly installed down spouts you can capture water run off in barrels instead of digging holes in your yard by 'erosion'. Soils tend to hold on to phosphates and nitrates from rain fall an fertilizing. When water erodes soils it releases nitrates and phosphates. Encourage your neighbors, strangers, friends, and yourself to put trash in the "TRASH CAN". Not on the ground. Here is something scary. Turtles are a predatory species when it come to jelly fish. The plastic bags that we through on the ground today wind up in theoceans later. Turtles snap up these 'jelly fish looking plastic grocery bags and they die.' What we get is too many jelly fish in our waters waiting to sting us. This means swimming is out. So the algae blooms and fish kills we create are natures attempt to restore balance in our marine systems. Too bad some of these algae create neurotoxins that destroy our marine fish. Or OUR SEAFOOD we like to eat. Either view works. We are the cause of our Earth's problems. Organizations like Concept E-3 (us) are going to do what we can. Your time, labor, and monies will help too. Let's start with putting out trash in the trash can. If a can is full take your trash with you until you find an empty one. Put out your cigarette butts before you throw them away. Throw them in the trash too. Downtown there is "The downtown Partnership". Look at who you are and where you are at. For most of us 'Mom" doesn't clean up after us and their is NO ONE cleaning up our messes. This week start a new habit, "Put Litter in it's Place", in the trash can so that it can be disposed of properly. Oh yeah if you need to, get a lid for your trashcan. Steven L.
