How about also that silver stuff/particles they spray into the L.A.  
atmosphere? it's creepy to watch it spread across the sky. Is that what you  meant?

I hate the sound of leaf blowers and especially that smell it gives off!  
We had these gardners that used electric ones for awhile then they went back  
to the gas ones. What up on that? Dorks! And don't get me started on the 
chem  trails in the sky we have everyday in LA!

Heh. I have got your point,  Folk. 

LA is a car-friendly city. The metro is ridiculous,  considering the size 
of the city. When--and if--certain projects start,  aimed at expanding the 
metro service from areas like Santa Monica, there  will be more chaos on the 
streets, and LA road network is already  congested.

Re: leaf blowers. They are so noisy, too. Whenever a  gardener comes by to 
clear the leaves, I feel like Tim Robbins on "Noise"  (of course, same goes 
for car alarms). I do not understand why blowers are  not replaced with 
other devices that vacuum them. Leaves could be then used  in compost. 

Heh...garbage (and Eurokids). Berlusconi's "bella  figura" to clean up 
cities like Naples from garbage, to then say that the  problem was solved is 
kinda bogus. It was like hiding dust under a carpet.  As long as mafia controls 
the whole garbage business, more and more Italians  will have new sources 
of pollution in water and soil. Illegal dumping can be  found even in the 
North. If you watch "Gomorra" you'll get nauseated. I was,  because I think of 
how beautiful my country of origin is, and how it is  strangled by crime, 
corruption and pollution in many areas--still, and  forever will be, I fear. 

I wish more could be done here to favour an  easier recycling. In Europe, 
recycling containers are bigger and are placed  at street corners or blocks. 
They are emptied twice a week, if my memory  serve s me well.

Water conservation should not be left to the  individual, you are right. If 
I do my best not to consume water in excess, I  wish others would do the 
same. I do, since I have common sense, and sleep  well at night. 

I wish all these summits be used to compare systems,  and find a common 
ground for countries to resolve problems in the long run.  yes, I am an 
idealist. I still wish I could believe in something.... I am  not a hippie. Don't 
you worry  ;)

Cheers,
CG

How can America lead in climate issues,  when they are 20 years behind many 
other Countries?
An example (or  gripe?)..

Leaf  blowers in much of Los Angeles County are illegal. Gas fueled  
blowers are much more polluting than the average car. They blow  predominantly 
non-indigenous foliage etc. into the gutters and consequently  storm drains, 
which run straight to the ocean. Is the law enforced?  No.

In many areas, you can only park your car for 2 hours. If,  after 2 hours, 
you do not move your car, consequently adding to  pollution and traffic 
congestion, you will receive at least a $50 dollar  parking ticket. Is the law 
enforced? Yes.

There is currently a  regulation on watering your garden. You can only 
water twice a week,  due to severe drought. Do most people adhere to these 
regulations?  No.

Relative to your average Eurokid, American kids (and  adults) are decidedly 
ignorant on climate issues. There is a distinctly  fundamental problem here.
There is no hope, at this rate, Mr. Obama.
