A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.
Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.
Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.
We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.

The Newsom Administration wants to spend $20 billion of taxpayer dollars to build a giant tunnel that would 1) degrade water quality, 2) cause native species to go extinct & 3) do absolutely nothing to fix CA's water woes.

FLOOD WATCH,
IN EFFECT THRU SUNDAY EVE (2/16)
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
WHERE: Entire North SF Bay. #California
IMPACTS: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams & low-lying & flood-prone locations. Creeks & streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage & urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Area creeks & streams are running high & could flood with more heavy rain & continuous runoff.
*ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
- Excessive runoff & elevated levels on area rivers, streams & creeks as well as near-saturated soil will resulting in an increased flood potential as the Atmospheric River brings moderate to heavy rain to the region.
- http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS: Monitor later forecasts & be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action.
SF dumps millions of gallons of sewage during big storms -- not cool, guys!!

As our executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh told KQED, discharge areas are sacrifice zones where the city has nowhere else to release polluted water.
"They're not allowed to be discharging this much bacteria and pollution into the Bay, yet they are doing it."

plumbing.
There's a lot of misinformation out there about #CAwater. Want to understand what's *actually* going on?
We highly recommend watching RIVER'S END: CALIFORNIA'S LATEST WATER WAR, which is now available for streaming 
The film features some of California's top water experts, including @petergleick and our own science director @jarosenfield

I'm really looking forward to zine club tomorrow! I'm gonna make soup as usual and I think someone is planning to bring a collard greens dish! As always if you're in range (whatever that means to you) you're invited, we meet every Sunday from 5-7pm at Meinolf Weaving School in San Anselmo, California to make and share zine, do crafts and mending, and just hang out and share food and do whatever we want.
Also we've got some really good stuff in the free media box right now, including the most recent slingshot issue, a few mini zines about plants, birds, crafts, land back, and more, as well as stickers and seeds. #marinzineclub #zine #zines #sfbay #sfbayarea #sfba #bayarea #marin #marincounty #soup #zineclub #marinzine
