Decomposition of Storm Water Trash

It is said aluminum cans take 80-200 years to decompose. I think decomposition of aluminum cans happens faster in water as cans like seen in the above photo are definitely being assimulated into the environment quickly. What is in Dog River? A lot more aluminum than normal because Dog River is teeming with decomposing aluminum cans.

It is said plastic bottles take 450 to 1000 years to decompose. Merely speculation because none of last century's plastic bottles have decomposed yet. I certainly have never seen a plastic drink bottle in any state of decomposition.

Worse yet, bottles made with PolyEthylene Terephthalate (PET) will NEVER biodegrade. Virtually all single-serving and 2-liter bottles of carbonated soft drinks and water sold in the U.S. are made from PET. Plastic bottles can be recycled but Alabama ranks #46 when it comes to eco-friendly behavior like recycling plastics, #50 being the worst. No wonder why Alabama's roadsides, ditches and waterways are so littered with plastic bottles. The retards in the Alabama legislator are afraid to legislate laws that promote recycling. Hence the former "Alabama the Beautiful" is now known as "Trash Home Alabama."

It is said glass bottles take 1 MILLION years to decompose. No issue here because at the rate humans are altering their living spaceship with hazardous chemicals, trash and nuclear waste, humans will be extinct in a few hundred years.

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.

Fleecing the Public in Mobile

Normal parking price at events at the Mobile Convention Center like during this past weekend's big boat show is $5.

Boy how quick the price of parking goes up at the Mobile Convention Center during Mardi Gras. On this particular Saturday the price doubled.

The Mobile Convention Centers even triples the price of parking during Mardi Gras.

If Gas Stations are not allowed to fleece the public by doubling or tripling their Gas prices overnight to take advantage of some situation like a storm or a big event, why is the City of Mobile Convention facility allowed to get away with fleecing the public through price gouging? 

What the sorry ass City of Mobile is doing is comparable to walking into McDonalds during Mardi Gras to find all the food prices tripled. It would be like having to pay $6 per gallon of gas on Mardi Gras weekend even though a day earlier gas was only $2 a gallon. It would be like if the power went out on a hot weekend and stores jacked up the price on their ice by three times to take advantage of the demand.

Shame on the Mobile Convention Center for their Ugly price gouging during Mardi Gras! Someone should go to jail.

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?

Ugly Canal Street

View of a trashy vacant lot across from a Mobile County Corrections facility on Canal Street. Looks like it has been a long time since anyone mowed and edged the public right-of-way. Also typical in Mobile are storm water inlets like this being overgrowing by weeds which compromises the ability of rain water to drain. No wonder why so many downtown streets flood. Property owners like Mobile County do not care how trashy the neighbor's property is.

Ugly Mowing Standards

This is the trash view someone left after mowing an industrial lot on South Royal Street. There be some real low mowing standards in Mobile. There be even lower standards when it comes to enforcement of Mobile's municipal litter code which require business owners to keep their property free of litter along public roadsides. 

This property supposedly managed by American Foods. I certainly hope American Foods have higher standards inside thier facility than they do outside their facility.

The guilty party sitting on a mower.

But maybe I came to a rash conclusion you may be thinking. The mowing person may not have been done with the job. He could have removed the trash after I left. 

That is why the above photo was taken a couple days later when the worker was certainly done.

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.
