'It's Putrid.' Yakima County Neighbors Raise Air, Groundwater Concerns About Nearby Landfill - Northwest Public Broadcasting

Up on a hilltop in Yakima County, Carole Degrave used to spend hours outside, watching wildlife, eating an apple, and enjoying the calm. In her backyard, wind chimes blow softly in the breeze. A 30-year-old apricot tree shades the center of her yard.

We aren't downwind or downstream from Hanford though. The trail named in the article - Wholly Moses - is named after my dog.

Oh that's different.

Moses' honor must be defended. Fuck that dump. Can we drive it to bellvue?

Yeah that's where its all coming from. Take the west side garbage back to the west side! The company who bought the LPL / Gravel pit next to our trails is a "recycling" company from the Seattle area who was sick of paying dump fees for all their waste that couldn't be recycled. Solution was to buy backwater dump in Butthole, WA and do as much evil shit as possible before anyone caught on.

Because it was designed as a LPL the fucking dump has a compacted earth liner rather than a real dump liner...

Fills ya with warm and fuzzies don'tcha know?

It's probably just confirmation at this point but I hate jackson and its zillionaire population even more than here so I'd appreciate that very much.

I also have no problem paying for a paperback so if you say it's legit, I'll just buy a copy.

Let me read it, it is kinda juicy now, but I’m not sure where he is going with it. Possibly down a psuedo-acedemic route, I’ll report back in a few days. But his accounts of getting black-balled from the Yellowstone Club have set a good tone so far.

oof

About that bollo pendant...

LOL, I think everyone gets blackballed from the yellowstone club.

There are a lot of hacky books written in that vein. Let me know if this one stands out.

To hold up my end, check out an author by the name of Dorceta Taylor. She's the diversity, equity and inclusion chair and some sort of enviromental position at Yale. She has a few books and papers about the gentrifying nature and racist roots (think john muir) of the conservation movement. I'm most of the way through this.

In this sweeping social history Dorceta E. Taylor examines the emergence and rise of the multifaceted U.S. conservation movement from the...

Academic as hell though, not smooth reading. It's dry as fuck. If you can get through some of her documentation, it's one of those rare presentations that's left me thinking 'well, I got nothin, good point.' She has some others I'll grab at some point.

Powell's had it used for $16. It will be my next read, even though it will depress me.

I made myself watch it all, because apparently I’m stupid. Rage inducing for sure. I hope he is recognised and receives justice.

Dunno about "Justice" (Is there such a thing???)
But I hope he gets a full disabled for life stomping.
