SUPERFUND CLEANUP > awhile back i saw a sunnyvale tree crew out cutting down a perfectly healthy carob tree right by the raynor park water well, and one of the crew guys told me they were installing a wi-fi tower so the city can communicate with the well from afar - he also told me north sunnyvale gets largely hetch hetchy water, mid sunnyvale gets a mixture of hetch hetchy and well water depending on the time of the year, and our section of the city apparently gets its' water largely from the raynor water well, which for your information is only a few hundred yards from one of the largest superfund cleanup sites in the silicon valley at homestead road and tantau avenue - (go to: http://www.svtc.org/ecomaps/svtc_maps/maps.htm) - and! the new kaiser permanente hospital is located @ lawrence expressway and homestead road!?! (see map below)...

while i continue to use the tap water to bathe and water plants etc, I DO NOT DRINK THE LOCAL TAP WATER, as i have known too many people who have died and/or suffered from cancer in this neighborhood, and since i really do not know the carcinogenic cause i am not taking any chances -- i get all my drinking water from WATER PALACE @ homestead and hollenbeck (408-738-0110) they distill their water instead of using reverse-osmosis filtration, which is much better as it restructures the water molecules - ALSO! check out the AQUA TECHNOLOGY WEB SITE @ http://www.aquatechnology.net/

SILICON VALLEY TOXICS COALITION ~ i heard about the california supreme court opening the door to tobacco lawsuits from smokers and/or ex-smokers, but i think we should instead focus upon the chemicals of non-consentual exposure (in other words; chemical in which people have no choice in being exposed to) like the 70,000 + semiconductor industry chemicals in the air and ground/water - go to: http://svtc.etoxics.org/ & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater) - TOXIC SHOCK @ http://www.metroactive.com/metro/06.25.08/news-0826.html - E-WASTE DISPOSAL ~ EWM and ACQuisitions Office are committed to keeping e-waste out of California landfills - This will be realized through community “Free Drop Off” event opportunities, scheduled “Free” facility drop off, and education - READ MORE @ http://www.noewaste.com
