"BTW, we have city water, so do all neighbors, but we are on a 60' cliff over the ocean, so I suppose a very washed out amount of chemicals could make it's way to the sea, after being filtered through 60' of rock."
Hope the guys eating the fish caught out there are aware. The coral reefs able to adapt, between the bacteria urban runoff, the local inshore water seems to be used as a dumping grounds by the near ocean crowd.
Just underscores we still live in an era where dilution is still the solution.
Between the runoff from yards, the bacteria from cesspools at the tide pool the oceans are being affected negatively.
Don’t we "get it" or is denial (i.e. dilution) just so much quicker and cheaper as we continue to poison the environment.
Folks please take responsibility for your actions and your waste this is Hawaii for Rudy’s sake!
We just can’t continue to dump our waste ....Out of respect for the "down slope folks" way I don’t dump chemicals out here - not even bug or defoliant spray .... I am going to ask you to the same out of respect for the ocean...
or:
Following your reason:
Ill just start dumping - save a lot of grief and cash. Being that we get 200 inches of rain to dilute it. Those most likely to be affected have city water as the goo fitters through the substrate - into the city wells.
May even start the malathion, I did see a bug in the house the other day! If the lower slope residents on the receiving end do not care - why should we on the slopes?.
BTW city water wells do not test for 99% of industrial waste that could be present, think the locals test for malathion?. Good luck
Aloha
