We Need A Better Deal


 

A Better Deal- 

 Securing America’s Future


Give your best to this land and its best will return. 


We are all shareholders in securing our children’s future. Let’s best

maximize our land’s value and minimize its loss. Sustainable acts will

save us trillions of dollars. 


WAR – We Are Regaining 


Explore ingenious alternative environmental financing mechanisms

(e.g.Eco-shares, green bucks or alternatives green fund/bond etc.) 


1. Currently the American dollar is based on our faith in the Federal

Reserve System. Without TRUST, the system will fail. What long

term environmental economic social security system is there???


2. America’s best response is to help itself during a

disaster. Disaster is now “happening.” Immediate mitigation

measures such as tree planting are imperative.


3. Why WAR? Is not our current enemy ourselves? During a war,

We are all united to combat the issue. Now, let’s focus on how

the almighty dollar may be the vanguard of change.  


4. A War on Waste of people, places and things is conservative

and economical solutions if only we can pray together and not on

each other. For years, climate change has caused wars, violence

and tremendous destruction. 


Now, financial and insurance mechanisms can provide future

prosperity. But only if all Americans rally together.


WHAT- Recreate future markets that stimulate saving instead of

consuming. Present prices and policies foster inefficiencies and

disincentives to save. What can we lose? 


One possibility is a new CCC - Civilian Conservation Corps. Foster

public/private enterprises that stimulate sustainable community

endeavors that;


* Create jobs 

* Foster wellness and psychic well being

* Best manage natural, human and other resources

* Regain new possibilities to people from all walks of life


Ingeniously explore trust fund-like opportunities to stimulate green

infrastructure prospects. Also, thrifty resource management

investments may create ingenious R&D opportunities to stimulate

green economic development. Profiting on pollution prevention will

result in our greatest investment - this beloved land.  Improving

market-based protections are a win/win tactic.


Marshall Plan II - create new markets to preserve, conserve and

protect that stimulate green growth;


* Organizational development and master plans to design all

facets of climate cooling

* Micro-financing

* University contests like the ones done for Solar Houses

* Small Business Loans and Supports 

* Research and Development (R&D) funding and  centers

* Letters of Credit, promissory notes, low interest loans, tax

credits, etc

* Inventory and benefit/cost accounting to document risk

avoidance

* Other wisely engineered supportive measures


WHO - Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, non-profits, civic

groups, religious groups and people from all walks of life. If WE the

people are not involved somehow, A BETTER DEAL will fail. We all

will benefit if this is made convenient and easy to maximize support.


WHAT - Replace - Use It or Lose It - Let’s Not Lose It. Present

government and corporations have created planned obsolescence or

ending is better than mending. Environmental protection fails unless

we all profit from pollution prevention. Once we shift from consumers

to conservers, a new healthy economy will prove that a green

economy is vital.   


Massive tax reform, and actuarial and accounting measures are

necessary for this transition. Highlighting the gains for conservation

rather than subsiding disposal costs is critical. Scientific, objective and

other transparencies are vital for such full cost accounting. Current

hidden costs are killing us. Pricing for pollution and regrettable costs

must be calculated. Fostering preventative measures will lessen this

dangerous deficit.


In closing - A Better Deal - WAR  requires various tipping

points. Climate change is a clear and present danger. Let’s cultivate

reverence for what we most cherish: life. A Better Deal is the first

step.  WAR - We Are Regaining - is just one idea to foresee and

forestall eco-disaster. Let’s celebrate American ingenuity by

transforming our land.

Page County Landfill Story

Recently, Ryan Grim’s article “Marvin’s Dirty Secret,” appeared in the October Rolling Stone Magazine exposing how the President’s brother’s waste company went bankrupt. This firm left behind Page County , Virginia citizens to pay a $8.5 million dollars environmental bill. Page County has a population of 24,000 and is a hour-and-a-half drive west of Washington D.C next to the Blue Ridge Mountains . It is also home to a major Virginia tourist attraction, Luray Caverns. Page County has been spent a lot of time dealing with landfill issues . There have been numerous questions of conflicts of interest . It’s as if a huge political football is being kicked around regarding what happened and why over the private operation of one unlined landfill and a mega-landfill recently closed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) for ongoing violations and excessive trash intake . There have been many anomalies in the operation of these Page County landf

Despair in Repair

Recently I learned that I have prostrate cancer. For many years my dermatologist has been removing this from my skin. In my recovery may I honor each day as my last. My priceless experiences comes from this celebrating what I been given. How better may I address my mortality then to Face Everything and Recover. When I Frick Everything and Run this other FEAR fosters little repair of my despair. It is challenging to deal with what is happening. Climate change profoundly terrorizes me. First addressing my inner conflicts best allows me to accept outer events. My way out of disaster is to triumph by accepting within. When I become more tolerant this attitude of gratitude renews me.  Such a resilient mindset liberates me. Acceptances frees me to whatever circumstances arise.   Fearless insights liberates me from my selfish emotions.  When my deeds and values align I find harmony. Being of greater service also gets me out of my victimhood. Kind acts heals me. Excess egotism le

Toxic Plastic Waste

Image
The plastics industry for years promoted that plastic was fantastic. Yes, it's a fantastic environmental crime. Contamination in the U.S. is high since many unrecyclable forms of plastic are mismanaged. Seven percent is recovered while 3/4 is lost or buried. The lack of smarter packaging has resulted in today's horrific plastic pollution. For more than 45 years, I have championed marketing secondary materials. I have helped recycle a wide variety of reused products, from tennis balls to motor oil. I have worn many hats to promote secondary end markets. Without finding new economic opportunities for recyclables, it will be discarded. People's plastic waste exemplifies the cost of our foolishness. Tragically, we're seeing this in all aspects of our lives. For example, in the healthcare industry, a third to half is mismanaged. My dad's congressional health care expertise allowed me to observe this tragic waste our ecology determines are well-being.  Remembe
