Thanks to these volunteers. I hope they also get that invasive plant parasite, the salt marsh dodder. Some well-intentioned but oafish amateur "restored" the area there with that plant several years ago, and it took over, killing many native plants. In 1903, salt marsh dodder were part of the large dunes and brackish lake there. Someone reintroduced it without permits or proper study, causing an ecological disaster in the name of instituting Ballona restoration.
Amateurs have their time and proper role, such as this clean-up. Hats off!

Now CCFD is sending "all available units", as water is right up to homes!

This is a clear warning about what will happen to our aging water and sewer infrastructure, if theRead More city allows frackers to drill under our homes. The city of Westminster in OC last week denied a drilling permit for exactly this reason. It's time for citizens to let their council members know their thoughts on this topic. Council is concerned about a lawsuit if they stop fracking. The cost of a lawsuit pales next to the cost of replacing our infrastructure. Paid by taxpayers. Thus far frackers have never operated in such a densely populated area. In rural areas, there isn't nearly as much infrastructure.

Of course it's a warning our infrastructure is over 90 years old. Fracking or not it's breakingRead More down.
