METHANE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Methane is emitted by organic material decomposing without oxygen (anaerobic). SB 1383 requires the County to stop sending organic waste to the landfill. Discussions are underway about what to do with the waste. One option is to compost it. Another option would be to put it into an anaerobic digester operated by several local dairies in order to deal with methane from manure. A meeting will be held next Wednesday at 7pm on zoom for people concerned with our local waste to discuss these options. If you are interested in methane, composting, manure or digesters, please attend and find out more.<\/p>\n

Topic: Local food waste: compost vs digester

Here is a description of the dairy proposal to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.<\/p>\n

Ag-Grid Energy, a dairy digester developer, and Miranda Dairy, a leading member of the coop called Western Organic Family Farms, have formed a business partnership called Humboldt Ag-Grid LLC. This partnership plans to implement a multi-farm community anaerobic digester located at Miranda Dairy in Ferndale, California. The facility will process dairy manure from a total of 7 dairies and food waste diverted from the local landfill, creamery and other food processors. The digesters will accept manure and food waste in a ratio of 80:20 manure: food waste. The manure from the feeder dairies will be trucked to the central digester location via an EV tanker truck that will be charged by the project. An equivalent amount of digestate will be trucked back to each of the dairies to be used as fertilizer on their land. The biogas generated from manure and food waste will be routed to a combined heat and power system (CHP), where it will be converted into renewable electricity, which is to be sold into California’s EV market via the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The waste heat from the CHP system will be reused to maintain the digester temperature at 100\u00b0F, thereby eliminating reliance on outside energy. Detail here.<\/a><\/p>\n

PETITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

STAND.ORG<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Interior and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) have a five-year plan for offshore drilling \u2013 with one new lease in Alaska and up to<\/strong> 10<\/strong><\/em> in the Gulf of Mexico over the next five years.<\/strong> This is Biden basically giving Big Oil a free pass to mess up our oceans and the environment again.<\/p>\n

We have a chance to pro-actively push against this disastrous money-grab plan.<\/strong> The Department is currently in the review process of this proposal, that’s why we need a tidal wave of public opposition to this plan.<\/p>\n

Will you add your name and tell the government to stop offshore drilling?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

WRITE LETTERS TO VOTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

350 Humboldt has a group of devoted letter and postcard writers. Join us for tips and conversation while you write. 7 pm every Sunday evening on Zoom: <\/strong>https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/86943045708?pwd=clVqWVJZNEFQSVl0QWd6VCtOZGtWZz09<\/a><\/p>\n

VOTE FORWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting today, you can write letters to voters that focus on a specific issue they care about through Vote Forward\u2019s new Pro-Choice<\/a> and Climate<\/a> issue campaigns. We\u2019ll put these letters in the mail with our letters for The Big Send on Saturday, October 29.<\/p>\n

In each of these issue-based campaigns, we\u2019re sending letters to voters in Pennsylvania who are motivated by a specific issue, as suggested by our data: reproductive choice or climate change. We\u2019ll encourage these voters to turn out for the upcoming midterm elections by sharing our own perspectives and stories about those issues in the letters we write. We think that these issue-focused letters will be extra effective at encouraging voters, so we\u2019re designing these campaigns as experiments to test their impact.<\/p>\n

Dan, if you\u2019re ready to write, choose your issue-focused campaign to get started:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Postcards for Swing States<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please sign up now<\/a> to help us rally Democrats to vote in 41 competitive House races from California to Maine this November! You can help hold the Democratic House majority by writing postcards to voters.<\/p>\n

You’ll need to provide your own postcards and stamps for this program<\/strong>. We recommend progressivepostcards<\/a>, an online store that sells postcards with several of our designs for less than most sellers. After you sign up, we’ll email you a list of voters and instructions, which will include an October mailing date and three message options.<\/p>\n

350 Bay Area Action (new voter program)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take action and take heart.<\/p>\n

Send Out Postcards Now!<\/p>\n

You are needed<\/strong><\/strong> in our launch of post-primary phone calling<\/a> and postcarding<\/a>as we build voter strength for the midterm elections this November.<\/p>\n

ACTIVATE AMERICA<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are large numbers of pro-choice Democrats in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and California who often skip midterm elections. We believe the right message on this issue can help motivate these voters. We have worked with Planned Parenthood and other experts to develop these scripts, so you can be assured that you are sending a tested message that will resonate with these voters.<\/p>\n

This postcard program focuses on the fact that Senate candidates John Fetterman (D-PA) and Cheri Beasley (D-NC), as well as our CA House candidates, will vote to protect reproductive rights, while Republicans are pushing a nationwide abortion ban.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also sending pro-choice postcards in five House districts in California, with more coming soon.<\/p>\n

POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is Frederica describes what they are doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am administering a postcarding network in Humboldt County (presently over 300 writers) and we supply postcards and stamps to writers, which are available for cost at several convenient pickup locations. Have anyone interested in joining us contact me. We mostly postcard for ROV (Reclaim Our Vote), which is non-partisan, but have also postcarded for Activate America (which used to be called Flip the West), which is partisan.<\/p>\n
