Cities of Refuse

I’ve mentioned before on my blog about the giant mound of trash twice the size of Texas floating around in the Pacific Ocean, but only as part of another blog. Since National Geographic wrote about it today, along with some of the first documentation of the phenomenon, I thought I’d bring it up again. Here is a link to the National Geographic article. Here is a better picture of it. The floating plastic trash creates a hazard for aquatic life and consumers of aquatic life in the area, and represents 10% of the total worldwide plastic thrown away each year. No one knows how deep the marine dump is. The Scripps company is funding the effort to document to floating island of garbage. For those of you unfamiliar with Scripps, they own HGTV, several magazine holdings, and a news station and news paper in almost every state. They own a station in Tulsa and a paper in Muskogee here in Oklahoma. I am interested to see where this project leads in the future. If you assume we can ever even stop the annual input of plastic to this contribution, you still have the problem of what are we going to do with what is already there? Will we tie it together and create new land masses? The cities of the future? Or will we put it in a rocket ship and blast it off into the sun. I would love to be a part of this project, but barring that, I am excited to at least see someone researching it finally. Continue reading

No Such Thing As Clean Coal…

I am enrolled in an Environmental Studies class this semester at college, and the professor has asked us each to start a wiki as part of the curriculum. Since I am unfamiliar with this technology, I had to do some researching. I found this wiki , and thought it was interesting. It discusses coal issues. I’ll share my wiki with everyone once I figure out how to get it set up.

Sad Day for Train Zealots

I received this e-mail from representative Tom Kovach today, who works with OnTrac to promote commuter rail in Oklahoma: All: It was reported to us yesterday that construction crews have commenced work on removing the old passenger platforms at Union Station as part of the final phase of the new Crosstown Expressway. Clearly, this marks the beginning of the demolition and excavation work that will eliminate Union Station’s railyard. We are deeply saddened by the avoidable and regrettable loss of this invaluable, one-of-a-kind facility. It is a sorrowful commentary on where are as a state with regard to transportation and rail transit. At a time when our peer cities and states are well on their way to developing 21st century transportation systems, we can only hope this loss also marks the end of Oklahoma’s ambivalence and disregard for the importance of rail transit. If we wish to remain economically competitive and to provide our citizens the job and transportation opportunities they deserve for a better quality of life, its imperative that we all work together even harder now if we hope to make rail transit a reality for Oklahoma.
