		<description><![CDATA[The mosquito thing. I pick up the beer bottles, cans and other bottles thrown along the roadway where I walk my dogs.  They can hold enough rain water to hatch a slew of mosquitoes. 
   The reason i try to do this, and other things around my home is because I use a cpap machine, and when they spray for these vermin, this machine acts like a concentrator and amplifies the dose I get of the sprays. 
    I read Rachel Carson, and I, for one am against the use of sprays. I know some of it is necessary, but all I can think of is they have one objective, control by killing.
    Also, the osteoporosis that is so prevalent today, many of the old timers say it wasn&#039;t so common years ago. All I can think of is the story about the eggs not having shells. How many generations will it take since it&#039;s[ddt] been outlawed for things to get better?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a newcomer to the blog, I&#039;m motivated to ask how we propose a question for the blog.  As an example, &quot;what websites are helpful to design, capture, and store home roof runoff to provide an annual supply of safe drinking/cooking/bathing water, so people don&#039;t automatically rely on outside sources that typically have very significant environmental and financial costs?&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bats are a US Environmentally Protected Animal.  Getting them out of my codo&#039;s building is one of the most difficult challenges I am faced with today.   Protect them yes,  live with them in my attic, no.  I do realize that efforts to control the bats from entering my condo need to be coordinated with the Condo Associations efforts.  Removing the bats is only part of the solution....just give me some encouragement here.  Thanks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I have learned is there is finally an avenue to vent out my frustrations about the EPA giving Air Quality Control Management Districs   FULL CONTROL  over regulating and inspecting businesses without training thier employees on new rule makings. 
   HOWEVER, for businesses the new rule makes it  MANDATORY for 3 employees to be trained by a specific date or face being in violation .  Then turn around and have That business pay Air QC for the time it takes their employees to get to know the laws (an average of 10 hours @ $81.00 and hr.) and then when that employee decides to leave that district they tally up the hours  it takes for the new employee to learn the rule (Another 10 Hrs) and who flips the bill for them to learn a rule they enforce for the EPA?  The Business whom the new rule made it MANDATORY to get trained for FREE by the EPA!!!!!  What is wrong with that picture??? 
Something Else I have learned is 
   THANK GOODNESS FOR THE OBUDSMAN GROUP!!!!   The only way to actually wedge between us and Air QC and let them know &quot;  Hey guys, isn&#039;t this a little one sided&quot;.  Because Lord knows there was not one sole at the EPA who oversees or Regulates injustices done by these tiny little districts that make themselves sheriff, judge, jury, and money collector all in one.
  Thank you, That along with a 57 page new rule is what I have learned!]]></description>
