WHY DOES THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE?
Solving our water pollution problems
Millions of Californians enjoy the state's coastline and waterways everyday. However, many of those people are unaware how their daily activities, from driving a car, to not properly disposing of their garbage, or even throwing a cigarette butt on the ground, can impact the plants and animals off our shores. This debris can harm or kill beach organisms. Pollution also makes using the beach less enjoyable for humans. Solving our water pollution problems requires everyone's involvement.
How Does Trash Become Marine Debris?
Look around the next time you walk down the street. When it rains, trash on sidewalks and streets that accumulates in the gutter is swept into your city's storm drain system. Most storm drain systems discharge directly into the ocean. Trash is also carried from inland areas to the ocean by wind, streams, and rivers, is dumped directly in the ocean by recreational and commercial boaters and is left on the beach by beach goers.
Normally, northern fulmars spend their whole lives way out in the ocean, touching land only during breeding season. Wildlife experts believe this one weakened after feasting on floating plastic, and died when a storm blew it onto an Ocean Park beach. Of the 59 pieces found in and around the bird's belly, all but one were plastic.
The market for municipal and industrial solid waste management
equipment and services is one of the least developed environmental market
segments in Mexico. Although the country generates over 80,000 metric tons of
municipal waste each day, only about 83 percent of this waste is collected and
only half of the solid waste receives proper handling, confinement, or treatment.
Inadequate solid waste treatment is due to lack of infrastructure and low levels of
recycling. Few households and industries recycle. Only an estimated 6 percent of
the total volume of municipal waste is recaptured daily, despite the estimated
recycling potential of close to 30 percent. In addition, industrial solid waste is
treated together with municipal solid waste.1

BajaTrash.com is dedicated to a green future in Baja California Mexico. From Tijuana, Rosarito, Mexicali, Ensenada, San Felipe, Santa Rosalia, La Paz, Loreto, to Cabo Can Lucas and all points in between, BajaTrash.com exposes the abuse and highlights the perpetrators. But more, BajaTrash.com bullet points the positives by highlighting the good that is going on and promotes those who do good.
So get ready to see stories on those that use Solar Power, Wind Power, and manage and conserve our natural resources well for our future.
And of course, you will be disgusted as we expose the Baja Trash, from graffiti to those that dump their trash out of their gas guzzling cars...and we are just talking about the Politicians. Wait till we get to the people....no one is safe as BajaTrash.com embarrass the culture of the past and promotes the young guns who seek a green future in Baja California Mexico.

Personally, I
hate parking lots --- but we have so many of them! Sitting there, doing nothing but heating up
the atmosphere, so solar parking lots! Community-sustained,
secure, renewable electricity! Bonus =
community jobs! All over America! So I’m back at university learning GIS to
analyze each town’s paved parking areas (Greensboro
NC (pop 247,000) has 10.27 square miles of it that will power over 500,000
homes (every year) if covered with photovoltaics!) and I’m starting

Thanks for all your support of EarthLab, and global warming prevention. We totally appreciate your help getting the word out about lowering people’s carbon footprints.
We are still trying to gain friends on MySpace so if you know anyone who is interested in environmental conservation please have them friend us: http://www. myspace. com/earthlabfoundation
We also have the most widely used carbon calculator on the web at our home page.

Not everything you create will be a masterpiece, but you get out there and you TRY and sometimes it really happens. The other times you’re just stretching your soul.” …Dr. Maya Angelou
Extreme chaos and destruction from global warming, a looming peak oil crisis threatening economic collapse, or a national security nightmare brought on by an overdependence on foreign oil. You choose the reason... the time to ACT is NOW!
Thank you for becoming my MySpace friend. I appreciate your time. One of the biggest problems we face today is with energy. Together we can make a difference about this. The energy from the Sun falling on the United States in one day is more than twice the energy we consume in an entire year.
We all want clean energy and we agree that it’s time for a change. It's time for affordable, no investment cost solar. Join us in the switch from the old, dirty, bad for our health and the environment, unreliable grid, to the new clean, green, and renewable one.
