Sequoia National Park - Day 19

This state actually banned banning plastic bags....

Take a guess...which state would do a stupid thing like that?

Yosmite NP - Day 18

Yosemite NP - Vernal Falls Hike

What happened when I tried to go through Starbucks and use a refillable cup?

"58 billion paper cups are tossed out annually in the United States ALONE."  That is 58,000,000,000 divided by 365 = 158,904,109 a DAY! Just bring your own cup!

If you think coffee companies are recycling...think again.

"Any fool can destroy tress..." John Muir

"Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed, — chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones.... Through all the wonderful, eventful centuries since Christ’s time — and long before that — God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand straining, leveling tempests and floods; but he cannot save them from fools, — only Uncle Sam can do that." ~John Muir, “The American Forests,” August 1897

Giant Sequoias

• Are taller than 21 elephants stacked on top of each other. 
• Weigh more than ten blue whales combined. 
• Would take up over three lanes of traffic on a freeway with its base!

Loved this Post that was shared with me!

Are you one of the 'weirdos' who picks up litter?

I am, too — and I know we're not alone in this important mission.

Some people can walk by trash, and others just have to stop and pick it up. (Photo: Maciej Bledowski/Shutterstock)

A Convenient Killer

60 countries are fighting against this killer, but America isn't one of them, yet!

Gas Station Guzzlers

I wish I were speaking about of the Chevy Z71 I just filled with gas.  No.  I am talking about the huge plastic and mostly Styrofoam cups that have names like, “Big Gulp”, “The Chill”, and “Mega Mouth” in which you can buy fountain drinks for $1.29 or less. Ok, I made up two of those names but you get the point.

In the article “Too Big to Gulp”, author Azeen Ghorayshi documents how the size of drinks have changed over the last few decades.  But that is not all that has changed.  As more and more people swing by their Speedway to grab their carbonated caffeine before work, those Styrofoam cups, plastic lids, and straws add up too!
