SPAMMED!!!! 2 For 1 Friday
|
| I was spammed by the city this afternoon. I hope they recognize that the valuable bandwidth they cost my business to download this e-newsletter took lots of energy to produce. The change of pixels on my computer screen required to display the image needed a surge of electrons to produce. Those electrons have now been lost to the ground return of my electronic appliance. That energy, which was produced through the burning of fossil fuels, is now lost to me. These unsustainable practices cannot continue!
I'm kidding, but it may not be long before the sustainable gremlins start growing concerned about the impact internet traffic has on energy use. The image above is a notice of General Plan public meetings. More can be learned from the Chico General Plan web site (see web site here). I ran across this web site a few weeks ago, but it wasn't completed. I meant to mention it, but beavers and slogans seemed more newsworthy. Anyway, if you never attend any of these meetings you can't complain about the direction your city takes. There are professional meeting goers that will make a point to be at these, and the squeaky wheel gets the oil. I plan on showing up and squeaking as often as time allows. CI readers should try to do the same. Are they lame? Yes. Are they dog and pony shows? Yes. Can you make a difference if you attend? Yes. I'm bringing my new slogan ideas with me. And my frisbee golf discs. |
