A young couple built a 560sqft ‘earthship’ home using reclaimed and re-purposed materials with wooden walls reinforced by car tires in the Santa Cruz Mountains for just $10,000.

Six weeks before Grimes crashed and died after being tased, Forrest Harvey III encountered Bessner in Detroit near 7 Mile and Hoover. Bessner emerged from his patrol car, ordered Harvey to raise his hands and then shot him with a Taser about 1 second later.  Continue reading “Prosecutors: Trooper charged with ATV murder used Taser to punish people”

California has become the first state to pass a law severely limiting the amount of water residents can use on a daily basis, and while politicians claim that the restrictions will be enforced in the name of conserving water, Nestlé is illegally stealing millions of gallons of water each year and the state is doing nothing to stop it.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 606 and Assembly Bill 1668 into law, both of which set new standards for “water management planning.” The restrictions will fully take effect by 2022, limiting residents to 55 gallons of water per person, per day. That number will decrease to 50 gallons per person, per day, by 2030.   Continue reading “California to Fine Citizens Using Over 55 Gallons of Water as Nestlé Pumps Billions of Gallons for Free”
