Ringgold Park Granite or Green

civilrectitude — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 00:25:44 +0000

Ringgold Park is located off of Waltham Street in the South End, between Washington and Tremont Street. After initially encroaching upon the Monday evening Salsa lessons held outside the Balckstone Community Center; where I honestly hesitated at the thought of participating in this festival of Summer residents frolicking to Latin rhythms, I continued on to my planned destination.

Money that's supposed to clean up Chelsea Creek just sits in a bank somewhere, doing nothing

WBUR reports on the fate of $4.6 million settlement Exxon-Mobil paid in 2009 for dumping oil in Chelsea Creek. Basically, it could wind up not being used to help clean up the creek at all. The BRA is apparently part of the problem, as is the fact that the money was dumped into a federal fund aimed at preserving giant marshes for migratory birds.

Not loving the dirty water

Anyone else getting this yellow-brown tinged water in their homes? We got some yesterday and it's still here today. I'd worry that it was something with our building in Jamaica Plain but I got the same creepy water yesterday at work in Brighton. I'm assuming (hoping) the water is still safe to drink and a result of the rain or something else seasonal that is going on. Any ideas or suggestions?

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment

I want to share my article with you. This is about the link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues. The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.
