Love Palo Alto Online but so miss both the Palo Alto Daily and Weekly newspapers ( I believe the Daily news is now defunct and as I have moved out of state I cannot read the Weekly news anymore ( expect for online).

Despite this law being put into place, almost no one follows it or actually utilizes their green bin correctly. I still see people put recycleable material in there and a lot of food waste still goes into the normal bin. Theres a pretty low chance that this law can even be enforced appropriately. I'm sure when the next report releases, we will see an insignificant change of how much organic waste is being put into landfill. One way we can really cause change is to start educating kids to use the bins correctly, and maybe even how composting works.

As a joke, I think itd be a really hazardous but cool job to get more people to sort through trash before it is put into landfill.

Alright now just get: Universal Basic Services (Medical care, Housing, Cal States, High Speed Rail/regional Maglev, a simple app for all state and federal websites into one website aka 100% online gov paperless eco friendly, and maybe Universal Basic Income) #CaliforniaVision2031

To be honest every city should be set to the standard Palo Alto City hall has done. New computers, startup city hall design statewide and at the state capital. Wish every city in California was like Palo Alto City hall startup design and futuristic. State capital as well. California could become the Apple Inc of government service quality and software.
