Charmin TP Commercial Frustrates the
Sewer Authority Mid-Coast Board

VIDEO. Public Service Announcement from Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM).

SAM Director, Rick Lohman, speaks to the “flushable wipes” problem.

They are flushable, BUT THEY ARE NOT DISSOLVABLE.

It costs SAM a lot of labor hours fixing machine parts that are built for dissolvable Toilet Paper.

Read below about AB 1672 which will redefine the marketing of “Flushable” Wipes.

Charmin Commercial:

“If you want to be really clean use our flushable wipes.”

They are flushable, BUT THEY ARE NOT DISSOLVABLE.

SAM Board asks that we do not buy these. If you do, please treat them like a diaper.

InPerspective: Insights, Infrastructure, and In General Topics on Sustainability by Gregg Dieguez

ARTICLE. The Attractiveness Principle 

There were three things that happened at the last MCC meeting, and they were all the same – though you may not have noticed it.
One hundred people showed up, most to protest the County’s intransigence in not allowing a home-built bicycle “pump track” to remain in use.
A bunch showed up to lobby for off-leash dog walking (and many more had attended a prior meeting). And finally, the County handed out an Early Warning Sign on it’s new coastal transportation plan, with up to 4 roundabouts, slowing traffic to 23 mph, stemming in large part from new housing complexes.
And all three of those concerns say the same thing:
the County has allowed overpopulation on the Mid-Coast to the point that people:
1. Don’t have sufficient recreational opportunities for their children
2. Can’t walk their dogs off leash without annoying other people
3. Won’t be able to drive at even half the current speed limits, when the congestion is already notable.
4. And then there’s the disaster evacuation and emergency services concerns, but that’s another article….

So what’s going on here? Simple, it’s called the Attractiveness Principle, in my words:

“If someplace is relatively more attractive than others, whether in climate, transportation, employment, or recreation, then people will keep moving there until it isn’t”.

Bedtime Stories ~ Harold and the Purple Crayon

PODCAST. “Harold and the Purple Crayon was one of my favorite books as a kid. I loved the idea of creating your own world. Something I think is really important today. Create the world you want to see and be the person you would want to be friends with.” Patty Sherin 10/24/17.

Artist and native New Yorker, Patty Sherin has had a passion for colors, patterns and the creativity that comes with using your hands to create beautiful, engaging pieces people of all ages can enjoy.

What began as a hobby when her grandmother taught her to crochet at just 10 years old, quickly grew into her life’s ambition as she grew older.
