I was doing a bike ride with some friends from Buck's Landing, near China Camp, and Rob Jackson was telling me about the bricks in the ground.

Rob pointing at bricks

He said that the bricks were discards that were not good enough to sell, that the whole area is full of them, several levels deep. He said they were made around the corner in a "slug pond," and then loaded on boats and fired 'around the way at McNear's.' I didn't know about that, so I did some research.

Worryingly, the Trump administration is showing signs it will try to override rules protecting endangered species in the Bay & Delta.

"The Trump administration is proposing to eliminate the rules entirely and just go for broke, which will result in the destruction of the San Francisco Bay ecosystem. Several extinctions, permanent closures of fisheries," as our lead scientist @jarosenfield told ABC7 News: https://abc7news.com/post/scientists-express-growing-concern-trump-administration-targeting-california-environmental-laws/16017342/

A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.

Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.

Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.

We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.
