Ugly Cosmetics Industry

What is in your shampoo? Anything greedy corporations want to put in the shampoo. And that is whether the chemicals in the Shampoo are safe for the public to use or not.

The Ugly Truth is the US FDA allows the Shampoo and Cosmetic industries to use any old unsafe chemical combinations in their cosmetic and drug products.

What are humans putting in the Earth's only water supply? Poison concoctions that may be found in well advertised Shampoo products like Wen Shampoo. Finally after 21,000 Wen Shampoo complaints does the Federal Government decide to investigate why the Wen cosmetic products are causing some people's hair to fall out.(1)

Talk about retarded Federal oversight of public health and safety. Corporate profit wins over common scientific sense.

The only question is when are the consequences for polluting the Earth's limited water supply and our own bodies going to reach out and grab you in a nasty ass way. Got Cancer Yet?

When it Rains it Pollutes

When it Rains the contaminants on the roadways end up in the public waterways. So, what is in your public waterways? Lots of vehicle fluids and that is Ugly!

Ugly Gas Stations

January 2015

May 2016

An Ugly amount of litter lines the parking lot of a Shell station in the City of Mobile. The City of Mobile litter enforcement department must be giving Convenience Stores and their customers in Mobile a green light to litter all they want. Not much litter enforcement going on in Mobile.

Untrainable Breeds

New sign. Note the litter in the background next to the storm water ditch.

New anti litter sign at Brookley. Just another obstacle for right-of-way mowers to navigate around.

Old no dumjping sign on a littered ALDOT right-of-way mere feet away from the Theodore Industrial Canal waterway.

This trashy ditch is unacceptable.

Unacceptable amount of Litter along a grocery store sidewalk. Mobile is a city of trashy pigs.

With Press Register newsprint products delivered to people on the ground, why is seeing Press Register trash on the ground no surprise? Why do leaders allow paper products to be thrown on the ground to begin with?

There seems to be a lot of people who think the answer to the profuse litter problem in Mobile is educating the public. So, decision makers are quick to spend more money on public service announcements, signs, and anti litter education programs. 

Some Dog experts agree there are certain breeds of dogs that are real easy to train compared to the rest of dogs. In that respect there are some human breeds that are about impossible to train. Why do I say that?

Despite all the litter PSA's, signs, videos, campaigns, etc., public littering in trashy Mobile continues unabated proving litter education is about worthless in a community with so many stupid human breeds.

It is time for Mobile leaders to face reality. Mobile seems to consist of many human breeds that are incapable of being educated. Mobilians might as well get used to living in a trash dump. The law enforcement system is corruptedly geared to generating fine money instead of correcting unacceptable human behavior through real painful punishment. Becaue of that unacceptable criminal behavior is now the norm. 

I suggest Mobile leaders mandate the punishment for littering be a painful bare botttom ass whooping with a cane. Let surgeons sew up their ass in the prison hospital. Bring back the Pain in Punishment for criminal behavior to give criminals an incentive to change their criminal habits.

Ugly Photo Bombing in Dog River

Pink Iris next to some blue Iris. The background has been photo bombed by a City of Mobile garbage cart. That is no surprise. Trash pervades in the big Dog River watershed garbage dump. And the Dog River storm water trash pollution persists because there still seems to be no one employed full time to regularly remove the trash.

If the City of Mobile or the State of Alabama or the local residents and businesses had a real plan to keep the polluted Dog River watershed clean, the shoreline would not be trashy all year long like seen in the above photo clearly visible across from the City's Dog River Park.

Ugly Chickasaw Creek

Lots of metal trashing the shoreline of this "working" creek aka Chickasabogue Creek. Here is a motor half way submerged in the water.

The amount of trash floating in and accumulating along Chickasaw Creek is growing because the people trashing their community waterway obviously have no one working to keep it clean.

Eight Mile Creek is just one tributary contributing to Chickasaw Creek watershed's trash pollution.

Uliimately communities are responsible for polluting their own waterways with increasing amounts of trash and for regularly removing that trash pollution. The density of storm water trash pollution in a watershed is a direct reflection of the people living in those communities. Alabama communities are seemingly made up of a profuse amount of White trash. Black trash. Mexican trash. Asian trash. Etc.

But littering communities are not entirely to blame for waterway trash pollution. There are things going on in other States which reduce community litter by as much as 80 or so percent like drink container deposit laws. Trouble is rich bottling corporations like Coke use their money to fight bottle bill legislation. Despite the effectiveness of bottle bill laws in terms of getting roadside bottles removed and recycled, only 10 states have bottle bill laws (1). So, thank Corporate America for polluting Earth with so much plastic. 

The big bully corporations recognize the value of their empty bottles on the side of most roads as in your face where ever you walk free advertising. Beverage companies are willing to outspend environmental efforts that are trying to make single use recycleable containers too valuable to leave on the roadsides by 30 to 1 to make sure bottle bill laws do not pass. That way greedy corporations get to keep their Ugly roadside litter advertising.

My way to punish the greedy corporations responsible for polluting America and the Earth? I boycott buying drink products. Besides, the petroleum chemicals being used to make many plastic bottles are said to disrupt the endocrine system in people leading to things like obesity. All the more reason to avoid buying drinks in plastic bottles.

MS4 Trash Affects Entire Watersheds

A community's Storm Water Trash can negatively affect entire watersheds. 

Take for instance Dog River Watershed in Mobile Alabama. Many property owners leave the city's MS4 trash on their shoreline like seen at this $1.5 Million dollar home along lower Dog River. 

Ignoring trash pollution on the shoreline of public waterways cannot be good for waterfront property values. Who wants to buy a home next to a waterway trash landfill?

What is on TV?

What is on TV? Not much other than Scum. 

This generation is filling the Earth's irreplaceable living waterway arteries with hazardous electronic material pollution. That is the UGLY truth.

No one will remove this TV from Dog River despite this specific hazardous material TV being reported to the City of Mobile and all the Environmental Protection Agencies and legislators.

Idiocracy is coming to America as more and more Cities and States are being governed by imbeciles who sit back and do nothing about the hazardous pollution rotting in our waterways.

Not to worry. The poisoning of Earth's all connected water will lead to the poisoning of more and more people leading to more retards getting elected. There will be consequences to future generations for the irresponsibility of this generation.

MAA's Ugly Drainage Ditch

Mobile Airport Authority ignores the trash in their highly trashed drainage ditch.

The three quarter mile long 6th Street drainage ditch at Brookley empties directly into Mobile Bay. 

Yup. Here in America corporations like Mobile Airport Authority are allowed to ignore polluted ditches on their property. This neglect contributes to the pollution of State and Federal waterways.

Of course Mobile Airport Authority can thank the City of Mobile for their polluted drainage ditch because many of the drainage ditches in the City of Mobile remain littered with trash 99 percent of the year. That means any time it rains heavily the City's neglected ditch litter gets flushed further downstream.

It does not do the Environment any good when the City and Corporations ignore their ditch litter all year long, year after year. 

Why doesn't the City of Mobile's Litter Enforcement Department fine property owners for not removing the trash from their drainage ditches?

Oooh, Oooh!  Last I heard, it was the City of Mobile that was responsible for maintaining the drainage ditches in the City limits. Obviously the City's Litter Enforcement is not going to fine their own City for shirking the City's responsibility which is to maintain the City's municipal separate stormwater sewer system (MS4). Even the City of Mobile admitted on TV to a news station that the City has not been maintaining their drainage ditches as they should have been doing.

So leaders in the City of Mobile and of corporations like Mobile Airport Authority all pretend the environmental plastic ditch pollution does not exist. These pollution photos show what leaders in Mobile are ignoring. 

Why doesn't the Alabama Department of Environmental Management do something? What about the US EPA? Both were made aware of the pollution in this Mobile Airport Authority drainage ditch. Even the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP) was made aware of this polluted ditch years ago.

Welcome to Mobile Alabama where soccer fields, museums, ice skating rinks and german corporations like AirBus get all the priority while the environment gets almost none. Got Cancer Yet?

Pickled Consequences

One of Mobile's popular illegal trash dumps is Conception Street Road.

Hopefully whoever dumped this load of beer bottles along the road eventually suffers from a crippling liver disease. 

Obviously the litter chunker already suffers from brain damage because normal people discard their empties in trash receptacles.

Ugly River Landing Condos Shoreline

Big Heron standing on the shoreline. Only a few pieces of trash visible on the shoreline. All looks well in the Dog River paradise. Looks can be deceiving.

Paddle up closer to the shoreline and you can see the trash is actually denser on the shoreline. In addition, plenty of trash is visible in the water.

Indeed, the shoreline is very trashy.

And all this trash compliments of the community of Mobile's litter chunkers.

So all is NOT well in Dog River.

Obviously Condo owners do not give a shit about their trash polluted shoreline. Neither does the City of Mobile who is responsible for delivery of the storm water trash pollution into Dog River. 

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management is inept when it comes to dealing with existing waterway pollution in Alabama. That is the Ugly truth as I see it from the seat of a kayak.

Another Wasted Winter

Much of the shoreline grasses die back during winter exposing the City of Mobile's storm water trash like seen here on this small island in Dog River. Winter is the best time for the community and City Public Works to hold an intensive shoreline clean up because the vegetation has died back and the snakes and bugs are noticably absent.

Sunset while kayaking on Dog River. 

Unfortunately the idiots who organize waterway clean ups in Mobile do their clean ups in April or September when vegetation is growing and hiding the trash and the bugs and snakes are active.

Another Winter Season is almost over and it was another perfect opportunity to mobilize workers like they do for Mardi Gras to remove ALL the shoreline trash in Dog River. 

Community leaders in Mobile are not smart enough to realize their public waterways are polluted with vast amounts of trash and need a thorough cleaning. Government is failing to monitor the increasing pollution of our waterways and failing to punish communities like Mobile that pollute their waterways. Government is broken, but we all know that.

Dog River Petroleum Pollution

Someone has added a new derelict boat to Dog River watershed. (left boat). The boat on the right has been abandoned for so many years there is a tree trying to grow inside the boat.

Unfortunately the partially sunken boat is leaking petroleum into the water leaving a sheen on the surface.

If there is a disabled car or truck sitting on the side of a road leaking chemicals onto the ground, a hazmat unit would be called to contain the leak and the vehicle would be towed away swiftly. Smart response.

When there is a disabled boat blocking part of a waterway leaking chemicals into the water, it is allowed to sit there year after year blocking part of the waterway while the chemicals keep polluting the waterway. That is asinine.

There is protocol in Alabama to deal with disabled or abandoned vehicles along public roadways. But there is NO protocol at all to deal with disabled and abandoned boats polluting waterways. Hell, no one even regularly inspects waterways in Alabama for polluting boats. Why not?

Leaders in Alabama and Cities like Mobile and Environmental Enforcement agencies like ADEM obviously don't give a fuck about waterway pollution. That unfortunately is the Ugly truth.

Ugly Love

Valentine's Day trash was found floating in Dog River yesterday. It does not take long for ritualistic trash to end up polluting the Earth's waterways. 

It is Ugly to say "I Love You" with a one time use lighter than air floating piece of trash.

It appears other people know "The Ugly Truth" about balloons. You can read other reasons why balloons are bad at the following link:

http://balloonsblow.org/the-ugly-truth/

AirBus Jets

These are big AirBus jet parts shipped from Germany seen in the above photo sitting at the Alabama State Docks waiting to be assembled in Mobile. After assembly of the German built jet parts in Mobile, I guess the German manufacturer can put a stamp on the new jetliners saying, "Made in the USA" even though the bulk of the work was done elsewhere.

Wasn't it just this past generation that Germany captured and marched 10-20 Million innocent people including women and children into death camps for mass human slaughter? 

How nice it is of Alabama and Mobile leaders to reward the recent Nazi killing machine country by hosting a brand new German AirBus Jet manufacturing facility at Brookley in Mobile. Talk about Ugly!

Common sense tells me that it should be cheaper to assemble jet parts where they are built in Germany. To put large jet units made in Germany on a ship and move them all the way across the Atlantic ocean for assembly in Mobile has to add significant risk and cost to the final AirBus Jet products. Adding unnecessary cost to a product does not make sense. The consumer will no doubt pay for the excess cost to manufacture AirBus Jets in Mobile. But, maybe Germany has ulterior motives...like corporate takeover of its not long ago enemy, America. Mobile's motive for bending over backwards for Germany's AirBus facility has to Money. Money. Money. Money which Mobile leaders can waste on stupid ass projects while they let the infrastructure crumble.

Meantime, between Airbus and other related construction at Mobile Airport Authority properties at Brookley, years of construction site erosion continue to pollute Mobile area waterways with sediment and silt. A waterway I used to paddle a kayak in is now too shallow to kayak due to sediment from Brookley.

Waterway pollution is not progress, rather it is a sign of irresponsible leadership, corporate greed, neglect and Environmental Pollution Enforcement Agencies asleep. It appears big corporations with big money can do whatever the hell they want to the environment.

The dark clear water (seen contrasting with the tan water near the top) is normal while the very turbid tan muddy water coming from the pipe is typical of the construction site erosion and sediment coming from Mobile Airport Authority for about the last THREE years despite Multiple complaints about the muddy water pollution to ADEM and the US EPA.

Above photo taken this past week shows where water recently draining from a Brookley construction site left a coating of sediment a quarter inch thick on the grass in a roadside ditch that drains into Robinson Bayou of the Dog River Watershed. Who is going to pay to dredge the Dog River Watershed to remove the construction site sediment? Probably not those polluting it. 

Trashy Alabama State Docks property about a tenth of a mile from the AirBus Jet parts. Leaving trash around storm water inlets contributes to the MS4 trash pollution of local waterways.

This is the MS4 polluted shoreline of Alabama State Docks property along Three Mile Creek after years of complaints. ASD does not seem to give a fuck about the trash pollution on their waterfront properties some of which will be carried down to Mobile Bay in a future flooding rain.

Two of the major contributers of Mobile area waterway pollution are Mobile Airport Authority and Alabama State Docks. From what I have witnessed neither of them care much about Mobile's precious waterways. Both appear too busy trying to increase their business and profit at the expense of the health of future generations.

I cannot wait to see what kind Jets are produced in an irresponsible Mobile Alabama community that has major businesses that do not care how much they pollute the public waterways in Alabama.

Will there be a rash of AirBus airliner jets made in Mobile crashing in the future because they were made in a trashy polluted community known to be one of the most miserable places to live in America? 

Of course, maybe Germany has higher standards and will not allow the litter chunkers in Mobile to work inside their facility and will be able to create quality jets. In that case, I hope Germany will improve Mobile by coralling all the litter chunkers and marching them into a gas chamber for extermination. Yeah, I know, what a mean and ugly thing to say.

If human life on earth is to be sustained for millions of years in a healthy way then those destroying humanity's only living spaceship in the Universe (Earth) need to be eliminated including leaders of polluting corporations, soon.

But we all know most environment justice will never happen. Cancer is one devastating sign that all is not well on Earth, our only living spaceship in the entire Universe. Got Cancer Yet? Likely a big chemical company has the cure for ten grand a month.

Ugly Arlington Park

As predicted, ever since a rain storm propelled some of the Mobile community's litter onto Arlington Park wetlands last year, no one will remove the Mobile Bay shoreline litter. This trash is very visible from the Park's boardwalk.

I simply walked down a path, crossed 10 feet of black needlerush to get to the trash pollution accumulation to take these photos. Did not even get the bottom of my shoes wet. In other words, the Park trash pollution is easy to access.

It makes me sick. The City of Mobile will mobilize 250 workers to remove trash after a Mardi Gras parade at taxpayer expense. But the City will not dedicate even one person to remove the trash left behind after a parade of trash from the City's littered ditches is deposited along the Arlington Park shoreline via Brookley's 6th Street drainage canal.

Obviously the City of Mobile and the State of Alabama and Environmental groups have no plan to deal with timely removal of visible MS4 storm water trash pollution along Mobile Bay and in Public Parks.  That is negligent and retarded.

Ugly Big Creek Lake

Big Creek Lake is where Mobile and other communities get their drinking water. For years I have been complaining to MAWSS about the trash in the lake and on the shoreline. So far the assholes running MAWSS have ignored the complaints and have done absolutely nothing to remove the trash, some of which is hazardous to public health. Went kayaking yesterday to see MAWSS picked up any of the trash last year. Nope.

What is in Mobile's drinking water lake? No one cares what is floating in the lake as long as the few chemicals they test for are within allowable tolerance.

Big new trash floating in Big Creek Lake compliments of Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS).

Dead deer floating in your drinking water. If this deer was on the side of the road there is someone to call to get it removed. There is no one to call to get dead animals removed from the drinking water supply.

Saw lots of oil containers alone the shoreline.

When this can rusts the remaining brake cleaner will leach into the drinking water lake.

Shoreline trash is ignored. Some has been there for probably decades because MAWSS has no program to ever remove the shoreline trash except by the highway where it is convenient to access.

Big Creek Lake, Mobile's drinking water supply is looking more like a garbage dump every year.

Trash, trash and more trash.

I unscrewed the cap on one of the MAWSS ignored pieces of trash floating in the water and guess what came out? I don't know. The bottle had no label. It does not look healthy to drink.

MAWSS certainly does not care. They ought get those political cronies on the MAWSS board to get off their lazy ass to walk the shoreline of Big Creek Lake to remove the garbage.

Meantime, what is in Mobile's drinking water supply and trash dump? No one knows. No one cares as long as the water passes a few tests. Drink up. Got Cancer Yet?

Ugly Flowerwood Nursery

This is a case of a specific waterway polluter called Flowerwood Nursery. Despite complaints about the plastic container pollution, plastic plant containers can be found polluting the wetlands and shorelines of Alligator Bayou all the way to the Dog River and Mobile Bay miles downstream. Environmental Enforcement Agencies, Legislators, Local Environmental Groups, City and State leaders, and even the Media don't give a shit if a business pollutes the public waterways. That is the UGLY truth as I see it from the seat of my kayak.
