Water purity, protection from Pacificans and others


Pacifica Tribune Letters to the Editor, 7/30/13, "Green and beyond" by Jenny Apodaca
Yep, no place for potted ferns either

"Editor:  Pacificans' water is endangered and is being destroyed by the use of fuels, oils, pesticides, cleaners, herbicides, pampas grass, scotch broom, yellow star thistle and treatment plants. Pacifica needs to make it illegal to use watering systems for lawns and gardens.

Pacifica needs to prohibit hunting, fishing, harassment of fish, wildlife, taking of vegetation, flowers, foliage, seeds, fruit, berries of plants, mold, humus grass, turf, shrubs, cones, ferns, mushrooms, feathers, talons, habitat nests, dens, water bodies, soils, archaeological artifacts, amphibians, frogs, salamanders and silt fence in creeks.

Pacifica needs a watershed status. This status would convert the police and fire to the forestry department. Pacifica needs to maintain and improve the water quality to protect the public health and safety."

Note:  The above Letter to the Editor was printed in the Pacifica Tribune as one paragraph.  The  potted fern photograph is from NPR, "Three-minute fiction".

Typical Nimby.

The ecology is our economy platform.

I heard they found an alien pyramid at area 51.

Jenny Apodaca is the person who ran for council many years ago who wanted the quarry to be a landing pad for space aliens. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

By "water," do they mean the ocean? Because our municipal drinking water doesn't come from local wells or anything: it comes out of the San Francisco water system from Yosemite and/or from the San Andreas reservoir (then treated at the treatment plant in Millbrae).

Now that's truly "visitor serving."
