California textbooks drop pro-plastic bag messages
The California Environmental Protection Agency revised a controversial cool room panels for sale K-12 curriculum, removing some positive messages about plastic bags that an interest group lobbied to include. [ California Watch ]
In August 2011, school officials cool room panels for sale rewrote part of a new environmental curriculum to include the advantages cool room panels for sale of shopping with plastic bags following a lobbying effort by the American Chemistry Council on behalf of the plastics industry. Although the curriculum included the environmental hazards cool room panels for sale of plastic bags, consultants added a five-point question cool room panels for sale asking cool room panels for sale students to list advantages of shopping cool room panels for sale with plastic. One such advantage stated that plastic bags require 70 percent less energy to manufacture than paper.
The textbook change drew sharp criticism from environmental groups and politicians. Following cool room panels for sale a state investigation into the matter, CalEPA announced Friday that it had revised the textbooks cool room panels for sale again, replacing statistics offered by the American Chemistry Council with ones more favorable to environmental groups.
While the old text said that 12 percent of Americans recycle plastic shopping bags, the new one says recycling rates specific to plastic shopping bags are not currently calculated by state or federal agencies.
CalEPA assumed responsibility cool room panels for sale for creating the textbooks on waste and recycling when a 2003 law legislated environmental studies into California K-12 public schools. The agency then outsourced the curriculum design to the nonprofit State Education and Environmental Roundtable cool room panels for sale (SEER), which departments of education in 16 states created to bolster environmental education in public schools.
We think the curriculum is excellent, and this process gave us the opportunity to go through it with a fine-toothed comb, getting as the same goal of producing a thoughtful and reasoned discussion about the consequences of consumption, Ehlers said.

Question for Mr. Bryan Ehlers: Considering all the time, money and head-spinning effort spent by people who produce this politicized “curriculum” (is it a booklet or yet another dust-gathering binder?), that you say will reach 60,000 students, have you commissioned a research project to determine how many of the 60,000 students cool room panels for sale will be able to READ your curriculum materials? How about another study to determine how many students will even WANT to read your materials? Sheesh, what a bunch of wasted money, your salary included.
The EAST COAST is flushing the sewers into the streams and rivers thence the ATLANTIC. Yes, they too have power outages and malfunctions that enough money may have prevented. Maybe our California Regulators can harvest a big commission from the EAST COAST sewer farms? All things being scientific, cool room panels for sale the Wallace Group issue is just a teensy grain of sand compared to the beaches on EAST COAST doing business as usual. I’m not advocating this is right or wrong, just pointing out the diffrences within the same country and the same science. Everyone know that shit happens but in California, if a job can be funded, you pay. I say ARGO to CWQCB.
Schools should cool room panels for sale teach our kids how to think critically. But then again, our federal, cool room panels for sale state and local governments seem to think we adults (as a mass) are incapable of doing just that. If you can’t think for yourself, they will. If you can’t take care of yourself, they will.

I read an article today where 65 percent of the kids in LA school district drop out of high school. cool room panels for sale Also, they turned down a $40 million grant that wanted to grade the teachers on scores. UNIONS SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT,NEVER WILL HAPPEN IN CALIFORNIA…WE ARE NOT CHICAGO – RIGHT!
