MEET CALIFORNIA FOG COLLECTORS...

THERE Has been talk about putting fog collectors on Coit tower in San Francisco, why stop there? Maybe the golden gate bridge could have fog collectors as well...we have all seen the golden gate under thick and heavy fog, think of the fresh water that could be collected with the right mesh.

All the way over to here in Kansas I used to read him. I do not recall what he was writing about mostly or what kind of issues he brought up but I remember reading him. I don't even know why but I did check him out frequently.

btw - I bought kitchen trash bags made out of plastics from the ocean. They are strong and I feel good about using them

Adding them to my bamboo paper towels and my 100% toilet paper and I'm on my way!
