Hi, I am so glad you exist! Thank you for your service. Yes!
Lets halt this climate change and get climate solutions.
First, let's stop getting crude oil from any rainforests. That
is Uncalifornia! It harms the lungs and the people who live there -
many of whom are indigenous. Indigenous people take better
care of the land than any oil company. The rate of deformities and
cancers in the amazonian tribes has gone up since Chevron left
their sludge there decades ago and it continues today.
Chevron and other oil companies still dont clean up their messes.
There are leaking oil operations in Bakersfield, that were just
left there. These are the responsibility of the oil companies and
they need to be inspired to do it now. They need some
incentive to care for the earth. We should also stop subsidizing
oil companies. That's crazy.
Kelp is a big sequester of carbon. CA has lost 94% of its Kelp.
Kelp also sequesters heavy metals. MBET is one company that is
trying to replant kelp in the most natural way possible and then
harvest it, sequester out the heavy metals and use the remainder as
biofuel. They are doing it currently in Baja but the bureaucracy in
CA has kept them running in circles trying to plant it here. This
is paramount for CA and the world since it increases O2, decreases
C02 and cleans the CA ocean of heavy metals. Dr. Eric Lewis runs
it. I interviewed him for my show, Stories We Love. His episode
comes out next week.
Conventional farming is one of the biggest polluters and
destroyers of the climate and more. Synthetic pesticides,
synthetic fertilizers, mono-crops, GMOs, Antibiotics, Hormones and
things growing out of season kill the soil. Almost all the
food we eat comes from healthy soil. That bridge that went down on
HWY 1 in Northern California had to do with depleted
soil.
Again, almost all the nutrients in our food comes from healthy
soil. Healthy soil sequesters carbon. Native grasses ameliorate 100
x more methane than a ruminant can make. So organic, regenerative,
biodiverse farms that have a ground cover of native grasses, can
help with methane, carbon, and healthier food for all. Plus
healthier animals. Healthy soil also sequesters water that can be
used for months after rain, reducing droughts. Healthy soil also
makes fires less likely, you don't lose topsoil as much, and you
have a less chance of flooding since the soil can take in the
water. Let's subsidize organic biodiverse regenerative farms
instead of things that harm the earth. Let's inspire conventional
farmers to go organic, regenerative and biodiverse.
And if we plant more trees within those organic regenerative
farms, and elsewhere, in healthy soil, we can also create
more rain. Many trees create rain. But they also need to be in
healthy soil and biodiverse. So this one is key.
The biggest cause of methane is fracking. That must be stopped
in CA and worldwide.
All school and city buses should be solar or other green energy.
Yay for Kamala inspiring that.
Urban ecology is also important. Another person I interviewed
named Ken Leinbach has created urban ecology in cities. It
reduces crime, creates pride in the residents, creates diverse
cultures, biodiversity, heals the area, and brings back pollinators
and other endangered creatures plus makes the whole community more
open to each other. Its beautiful. Here is the link for Ken's
episode so you can see what I am talking about:

Let's invite homeless people to be paid to pick up
trash.
And Philip Watts has ideas on how to make entire cities run on
solar power. CA is so sunny, that seems like a no-brainer! Again,
bureaucracy is stopping him from doing this all over the state.
He's doing in in Lancaster now.
I have so many other ideas.
Thank you for listening. I love our planet and CA. Let's
be world leaders in Climate Solutions. Think how you would all be
heros to the world!!!!!!!
I appreciate you all. Thank you!
