It will also be used to bring awareness to things that need to be change at a local, state, national, & world level. The current zoning in Santee only allows hens in zones HA-1 and R1. The proposed zoning change will allow female chickens on property with a single-family home that may or may not be in the previously approved zones. This proposal will exclude zones R7 through R33, which are areas w

ith apartments. Raising a small number of laying chickens is a not only fiscally responsible, it is also a form of environmental and community sustainability. Towns throughout the country are changing their laws to help expand the growing food localization movement. When Santee chooses to change its own laws the city will be joining a nationwide movement to improve quality of life. In addition to providing food for a family, chickens serve as pets. Unlike most pets, chickens are not noisy animals; they go to bed when it is dark so they never create noise issues when people are trying to sleep, unlike most of the family pets in the city. Since the proposed changes in zoning will still not permit roosters, there will be no early morning crowing that may inadvertently wake neighbors accidentally. Chickens Are Not Smelly

Chickens themselves do not smell. Any possible odor would come from their droppings, but 6 hens generate less manure than one medium-sized dog. The typical chicken keeper is also a gardener, and, unlike the f***s of dogs and cats – which carry pathogens and cannot be composted – chicken droppings present an excellent source of free organic fertilizer when composted. Unsanitary conditions can result in a buildup of ammonia in large-scale operations, which is why commercial poultry facilities often smell. This is not the case for small backyard flocks. Also, if the chicken keeper is not a composter or gardener they can easily just toss the manure right into their Waste Management green bin. Chickens are Not Messy

Chicken enclosures used in city and urban settings tend to be attractive and are easily maintained. Small flocks are managed with a minimum of time and energy on the part of their owners. Chickens Are Not Noisy

Hens are quiet birds. Roosters, not chickens, are known for loud morning crowing and roosters are not necessary for the production of eggs. The occasional clucking of hens is generally not audible beyond 25 feet. Some hens give a few squawks while actually laying an egg or to announce it afterward but this noise is very short-lived and much quieter than barking dogs, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, passing trucks, children playing, and other common neighborhood sounds. It is time for Santee to allow its residence to become independent producers of their own food. With your support we can change the zoning laws to allow our citizens to live an independent and sustainable lifestyle.

"According to the experts, the ideal federal legislation on plastic bags would mirror what’s been found to be the most effective on both local and national levels elsewhere: A ban on all thin plastic bags, and a fee on all other kinds of bags such as those made from paper, thick plastic and compostable materials. And it would be sweeping, so no part of the country could obstruct such a ban.

To further curb use and pollution of throwaway plastics, states and municipalities have also begun to ban plastic straws, plastic foodware like cups and utensils, expanded polystyrene foam food containers, and cigarette smoking on beaches. Several companies have stopped using plastic straws and other single-use plastic items to create less waste."

"Sixty percent of the electric utilities in this country are publicly run. There are more than 2,000 public-power agencies that provide energy to 49 million Americans. The vast majority operate without any serious problems. Fifty cities and districts in California have public power, including Los Angeles and Sacramento. In nearly every case, electricity provided by public-power agencies is cheaper than PG&E, and public power is leading the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

"Selling electricity is lucrative; PG&E collected $406 million in just one quarter in 2017. Every public-power agency in California, and almost every one in the country, makes money (in Hayfork Valley, the public utility was able to save a county hospital that was going to close). If the state had to sell bonds to cover the price of buying out the carcass of PG&E, the revenue from operating the utility would quickly cover the costs.

"And instead of turning that $1 billion or more a year in profit into corporate bonuses and stock buybacks, the state could use the money to upgrade the grid, trim trees near power lines, repair outdated infrastructure and prevent the next Camp Fire."

There's a much better alternative: The state should take over this criminal enterprise and run it as a public-power agency.

Before we worked, and succeeded to legalize chickens in , we worked to raise awareness for California's Prop 2 in the 2008 election. Because consumers are demanding eggs and stores are beginning to drop caged from their shelved corporations in are trying to force companies to sell there horrible products.

Industrial agriculture is now using its lobbying power to override consumers' ethical choices and impose cruel and unhealthy food products in Iowa.
