AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Aid is coming to Australia, much of it through the efforts of performers. 10% of Australia’s population was living in rural areas, creating art & pottery. Their lifestyle has been changed by the fires. Nothing survived. Time to talk about the affect of Carbon Emissions on weather and pollution. There is a direct correlation. We can’t pretend that continuing to mine fossil fuels is OK. It will continue to exacerbate record Heat and Australia’s & the Planets destruction

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Want healthy food at school at little cost? Sweetgreen has a non profit FoodCorps designed to bring farm to table foods to disadvantaged kids. They’re serving 22,000 now, perhaps they could expand? What about our traditional food manufacturing aren’t you able to make fresh frozen or canned fruits & vegetables? We need healthier lifestyle solutions

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Be forewarned, the Public needs to adjudicate the dismantling of EPALaws. We have 60 days otherwise, projects that contaminate drinking water, or cause environmental damage will be allowed. Trump is still angry over a denial of a golf course next to a reservoir . Contaminated drinking water was a concern of “we the People “. Trump wanted the golf course. Nothing must interfere with business, even if it kills us and our environment

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Regulation is keeping micro grids off grid. However, one California tribe using solar power and storage batteries, supplied gas & food to 10,000 when the Pacific Gas company cut power during fire storms. Why can’t most go off grid? Regulation should keep pace with technology keeping people safe & informed! The energy becomes less expensive with common sense regulations.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce In the US the taxpayer is bailing out Coal because the Corporations won’t. What are Liberians to do when Firestone leaves their Country? Workers make less than $6/day, yet Firestone says they can’t meet their payroll and makes families homeless. Is there no recourse? There ought to be a Law!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Use Democracy Now or Turbo Vote to find out where to vote. Register ASAP & determine if your State, like Georgia, uses ES&S voting machines. Don’t let your State used flawed data & be concerned that we’re still vulnerable to Russian or Trump hacking of our election machines. Don’t take Democracy for granted!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce When is Freedom of Speech limited? When it goes against company policy, Amazon limits speech on Climate issues. When do People have the same rights as Corporations? Why can’t we Lobby for and support Legislators & Corporations that support our Right to a good life? Unite for justice!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce When industry controls Domestic Policy, Birds die-in the millions. Industry merely has to state there was no intent to harm birds. With a $15,000 fine every birds life was precious. With deregulation, all birds are expendable? That’s what happened to the DEA enforcement, industry only had to state, there was no harm intended and no one was prosecuted. Humans are not self regulating, that’s why we need rules and Law. Being permissive, having no boundaries, harms everyone!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Powerful Coal & mining Lobbyists dictate Conservative policy in Australia. 12 million acres burned, farmlands included, people died and there is no end to summer season . The weather brings on more intense heat , fires & fire tornadoes. No rain. What happens in Australia doesn’t stay there, the People in New Zealand can’t breathe the pollutants either! How much land mass & lives must be lost before we change policies?
