"Bay Area construction company illegally polluted river, lawsuit alleges.” Rpt by Paul Rogers, #MontereyHerald.

Graniterock, "based in Watsonville, has more than 20 offices and locations, incl in San Jose, Concord, Redwood City, South San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Salinas….Lawsuit...stated that the company has been fined four times since 2018 by state #WaterPollution regulators at #CentralCoast Regional Water Quality Control Board. In those cases, settlements required #Graniterock to pay a total of $138K in penalties for water quality violations at the quarry.

"For each of the 46 incidents involved, the board imposed the minimum penalty of $3K, the lawsuit noted, calling it 'tantamount to a #PayToPollute system' for a company with millions of $ in annual revenue.

"The #grassroots are partners, not enemies….Protect Monterey County first successfully fought for the right of local communities to make decisions about oil production….What began as a Central Coast effort has codified the rights of all Californians to protect the health and welfare of their neighborhoods, and create the climate progress we need.”—California Assemblymember Dawn Addis, reporting on Climate Week NYC. https://www.montereycountynow.com/opinion/forum/from-sacramento-to-manhattan-a-local-california-assemblymember-reports-back-from-climate-week/article_8d57308c-4d11-4418-8297-e303b1c44112.html#tncms-source=mosaic

Asilomar Beach Pathway 💙 watercolor 16x20

One of my favorite places. Asilomar in Pacific Grove, California. Love this walk every time, loved every moment of working on this composition.

Please see my shop for prints. https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-elizabeth-kennen/shop

Not seeing any activity on Mastodon (this instance anyway) about #CaliRoots #CaliforniaRootsFestival happening May 24-26 in #Monterey. But we’re here to encourage Cali Roots goers to bike, skate, scoot, or walk there. Free bike/skate valet service (aka #ActiveTransport valet service) is again available. https://bikemonterey.org/bike-valet-at-california-roots-festival.html

We also appreciate Cali Roots other sustainability efforts—and #MontereyCountyNow (formerly #MontereyCountyWeekly ) providing an update on those efforts. https://www.montereycountynow.com/news/cover_collections/cali-roots-went-green-more-than-a-decade-ago-and-the-results-speak-for-themselves/article_e61e5b2a-1885-11ef-aa3f-43780a9f452b.html We especially appreciate that as we recall the plastic and other trash that littered the grounds when we last attended, in 2012. (Hiss boo to folks who don’t pack it out—or at least take it to an on-site bin.)

Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove 💙 oil pastel painting, 16x20

One of my favorite places to visit and paint is Asilomar. Walking along the beach, watching the waves and taking in the beauty, I was inspired to paint this.

Fine art prints available.

If you're headed to California Roots Festival / #CaliRoots May 25-28, 2023 in Monterey:

Please bike—or #skate, #skateboard, #scoot, or #walk there—or if you can't use people-powered / #ActiveTransportation to get all the way there, use a "bike-and-ride" option like Monterey-Salinas Transit bus.

Again in 2023, bike/skateboard valet parking will be provided at Gate 8 by faithful valet providers Mike & Natasha Baroni & Friends (aka Nitro Cycle 831).

The valet service was overflowing in 2022, so people who got there early had a spot, while others parked along fence OUTSIDE the valet station. Valet provider Mike Baroni reported today that Cali Roots plans to provide a larger valet station for 2023.
