First Posted 12/07/2013 Updated 12/08/2014 Updated 09/14/2015

Copyright and Fair Use in blog posts, articles, public comments, the 'Official Public Record and Response to Comments' (including but not limited to: US EPA, CALFIRE, Resources Agency, California EPA, DOC, DOGGR, NOAA, various City and Local Governments, etc., etc., etc.,)

A-MAP
As much as possible, this blog intends to provide content that is both timely and useful. Information is presented in educational materials relating regional implications of global and local events, the details of which are necessary in the process of making public comments through available protocols to rulemaking decisions at the Federal, State, and local levels, and where ever appropriate, internationally.

There has been official governmental recognition of international cooperation (various States, countries, UN, and regional human rights charters by hemisphere) on Climate Change, and Human Rights, pollutants, and land use changes. Consumer markets do matter, and the origin of commodities, the extractive practices, along with production, environmental protection, transportation, and the cost-benefits to society. This blog may venture into matters of resource extraction, environmental impacts, public health concerns, human rights abuses, indigenous rights and access to community and tribal land areas, cumulative impacts to the natural world and all levels of biota, and the relationships between the sustainable marketplace and unsustainable politics. An effort is made to provide access to updated links to NGOs and individuals working to further global community pathways in communication and for translation from human experience and anecdotal evidence to geographic coordinates and science based comments.
