Dear friends,
Do you know that the Bay Area is scheduled to be aerial sprayed with poisonous chemicals by this summer, more precisely August 1st 2008? For a period of three years. I just came back from a hearing at the Oakland City Hall about the spraying and here is what I have to share with you. - First of all, the decision of the spraying has already being made, not by you or me, but by the government or CDFA (California Department of Food and Agriculture), corporations and lobbyists. - The Environmental Impact Report will only be released after the spraying has taken place. - At the meeting there were several residents from Santa Cruz and Monterey, places that had already being sprayed. One woman had a photo of her 3 year old daughter, whose face was covered by blisters. Also heard from people with Asthma and other respiratory problems who end up in the emergency room. - Interestingly enough I've learned that the Black Moth or Light Moth, has being living in the Bay Area for decades and there are no reports that it causes any damage to agriculture, here or in any other country. - Spraying can kill bees and other beneficial insects. - The chemical which is enveloped on a plastic capsule which is not guaranteed to break on the air and could land at our kids playground, vegetable gardens or on the wood that you will burn at your fire place. Well I could go on and on but I know how we get bored by long emails, so please let's take action. Let's regain our democratic right of choice! Oh, last but no least you might be wondering what is the motivation behind the spraying. How does US$74.5 millions sounds to you? And the best part of all is that this money will be coming from your pocket and mine. Yes, tax money. Not for schools or for health care, but to keep the corporations rich and the ties with government strong. Here are some websites for more information: http://www.pacificariptide.com/pacifica_riptide/2008/02/stop-the-sprayi.html http://forum.stopthespray.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=395 http://www.insidebayarea.com/dailyreview/ci_8344918 http://www.dontspraycalifornia.org/ http://www.panna.org/resources/lbam#pheromones http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/02/02/18476684.php See you on the streets.

Hi Carolyn,
'Futurian' here. Noticed you coming from looking at those who were involved with The BIG ONE and I see that you are interested in the Media and Communication focus as well as Sustainable Livelihoods and EcoVillages. I think I will see your face in some of these other groups. I just joined as it is now just after Independence Day or '08. Looks like you live out in the countryside, out past Calistoga Rd. I imagine it's a nice spot. Blessings, Henry (the Futurian)
