I am labeling environmental groups as almost worthless because despite all their donations and income, no one is removing the garbage from Mobile area waterways after every rain, not even after complaints to governing agencies and the media. Even the Dog River Clearwater Revival (DRCR) group, despite the dense garbage along the tidal zones of some of Dog River tributaries, have no one removing garbage that has been there for years. Despite DRCR suing the City of Mobile over storm water trash issues, the City is STILL ignoring the trash in and along Dog River including City Parks.
How much do the City of Mobile and local Environmental Groups care about the water? I offered to remove waterway trash full time for free if the City would just dispose of the trash. Nope. The City doesn't want any help to get the garbage removed from their polluted waterways. I offered to do the work under the umbrella of several environmental organizations to mimic what other Cities do, like Boston. I thought environmental groups would want to be part of the solution to waterway pollution by helping to keep waterways clean all year long. Wrong. Why, that would eat into their party money.The Below Photo was taken in the Halls Mill Creek area in the Dog River watershed. Really, this sickening sight was not a staged photo. Thank the Theodore Walmart for this trash. Walmart ignored my correspondence about their plastic bag garbage.
The City ignored my every complaint about waterway pollution in and on City property - probably because I am white in a City that where Blacks are in the Majority. Fuck John Bell or at least the secretaries in charge of reading his paper mail and email. Have the City of Mobile attorney make a copy of this post and add it to the rest of my correspondence to be ignored. The cuss words should make him tingle with delight because he can use it to discredit my tirades. Fuck it. If the Shity of Mobile wants to be known for being trashy with polluted waterways, it wins.
You would be surprised at the enormous difference between having one person cleaning a creek regularly and having no one clean it, ever. Shame on all of the above environmental groups organizations for still ignoring the trash rotting along Mobile's waterways. But hey, CAST got a new video out which is suppose to stop the truck driver from Cleveland from throwing out his trash along the Interstate. Videos ought stop all that litter'n in Mobile.
What should happen is ADEM should fine the City of Mobile $25,000 a day until the City gets at least one person cleaning Mobile's trash impaired waterways full time. That would force the fat ass Mayor to get the illusive Public Works John DumbBell to address the City of Mobile's racial council to urge them to vote to get a City worker out on a boat removing the trash from Mobile's trash impaired waterways. The Density of Trash in Mobile Waterways and along Mobile Bay justifies the need to have at least one person removing the trash, some of which is hazardous to birds and marine life.
Harm wildlife? I tried that too. U.S. Fish and Wildlife doesn't give a rat's ass about dense garbage rotting in water and clogging sensitive wetland habitats unless it affects an endangered species. The jerks at USFWS apparently don't think Manatees are at any risk from the sewage and garbage in Eslava Creek even though 19 percent (582) of the Manatee population died this year in Florida. Leaders seem to not care what the consequences are when it comes to the environment. <Update: A manatee died in Dog River watershed this year and supposedly two more died near the severely polluted Bayou La Trash.>
Shame on the Environmental Groups. Zero people keeping Mobile area waterways clean is not acceptable.
The groups claiming to be all for clean water are waiting for fish and manatees to start dying before they think it might be time to address the storm water pollution problem with action instead of talk and education. How big does the Dead Zone have to get before basic measures like inlet filters and trash removal are required to reduce parkling lot storm water runoff pollution loads in creeks and rivers?
I tried to use reality photos to incite environmental groups and public agencies to take action. To force the City and County to enforce their own litter codes. It did not work. Fuck trying to teach the public not to litter. When a third of young people are not capable of being educated by the public school system, litter will continue to happen.
So, if people are paid to remove public garbage from land every day, why are there still ZERO people paid to remove trash from water? Fact is, clean water is at the bottom of the priority list. How is that for leadership stupidity?
Americans need not worry about Terrorists destroying the United States. The City of Mobile is doing a good job at destroying Mobile's waterways by sending all Mobile's illegal trash into Mobile creeks and then allowing it to rot. Matter of fact, if terrorists want to cause problems in America, all they have to do is put toxic poison in containers that will rust and throw them into America's creeks and rivers. Authorities will ignore it. The County of Mobile is doing a good job at destroying County Waterways. The State of Alabama is doing a good job at destroying State Waterways because the State can't even force the City of Mobile to put a single person out removing garbage from Mobile's trash impaired waterways. The EPA is doing a good job at poisoning our water by ignoring the fact the City of Mobile, the County of Mobile, and the State of Alabama and all the environmental groups ignore the garbage in Mobile's waters. Yes, my language is crude today but does it really matter when despite a lawsuit, Mobile's raw sewage (piss and shit) flows into Eslava Creek after every significant rain? Trash in the water is the LEAST of Mobile's water pollution problems. If Mobile leaders and environmental groups so willingly ignore the visible shit, what other chemicals are lurking in the water that are seeping out of toxic landfills?
I feel like I have wasted my time shouting that there needs to be full time trash removal from Mobile Waterways. It has fallen on deaf ears. Otherwise there would be someone removing waterway trash full time. Leaving garbage in our waterways only encourages others to add to it. Plenty of money continues to be spent - just not to remove trash from Mobile waterways. If you think only animals are paying the price for ignoring waterway pollution, like in the below photo taken on Dauphin Island, think again.
Luckily, the media has gotten the public to be comfortable with Cancer despite the fact that the incident of cancer rate continues to rise and is expected to double in the next 35 years. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth and it won't be from God which the Bible says is the creator of evil. The weeping and gnashing of teeth will be the consequence of humans polluting their spaceship, Earth, to the point that is becomes toxic to the human species on a massive scale.
"We can't go on private property to remove trash..." ---City of Mobile
Well then, the City of Mobile should be held accountable for using their storm water ditches to put that public trash on private property in the first place. It should be against the law for public entities, businesses, and the public to use public waterways as garbage chutes. Doing nothing about the visible pollution in Mobile's trash impaired waterways is fucking stupid.
