No on Prop 45 and Celebrating Firebirds!

And if you live in San Diego County, please vote NO on Measure B

The habitat destroyers are at it again with CA State Proposition 45. Please vote NO.
And if you are in San Diego County, also vote NO on Measure B.

Both will allow massive habitat clearance projects under the guise of fire prevention to go forward without environmental review, objective scientific oversight, and opportunities for you to provide input.

Both will make the landscape more flammable by causing the spread of flammable non-native weeds and grasses.

Because we keep beating these folks in court, and because there is so much money sloshing around to clear nature, they are turning to the ballot box to void the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Don’t be fooled by the propaganda. This is about the money, plain and simple.

On a more encouraging note, please enjoy this fabulous short film about one of the many species that depend on large, high-severity wildfires for their survival. The existence of these species proves that large, high-severity fires have been part of the natural environment for millions of years. They also expose the twin fallacies of past fire suppression and landscape scale Native American fire use.
