San Bruno
Is there more than one San Bruno in Baja?
I drove down to get a look at the town thar supposedly is going to experience some rapid growth i.e. mega golf resort. When entering the community one
sees new home const. and a newness but as u near the shoreline where the town is you cant miss all the trash and litter and debris that plague towns
like Sta. Rosalia. I was shocked to see the large amount of trash, primarily plastic. It looks as if the prevailing winds and currents toss up all the
crap from immediate points north. That would be Sta. Rosalia next up stream. Why is there so much trash and why cant all the chit be dozed into a pit
and covered over. This is easy, I have done it. The pits hold a lot, hide a lot and are simple to cover over. They also signifigantly reduce airborn
bacteria and virusus and well as other unhealthful particulates. One D-8 could take care of a huge area. I realize the costs but It must be more
cause I have seen idle equipment in the area. Is it just not a practiced standard? Does anyone have a reasonable answer to this Or is it just a matter
of pride or lack thereof?

One word
EDUCATION---If you never learn about conservation, recycling or other environmental issues then just throwing your trash on the ground is just the
thing to do. What the cows and goats do not eat just blows aroung in the wind. fishin rich

Hi Sharky,
this is a topic I brought up many, many month ago, and guess what >>> some folks just laughed at me.
I feel that the Mexicans don't deserve better!
They are throwing their trash and garbage just wherever they want > in the middle of a town or @ the beach (don't care the motto is)
yes, fishhinrich is right, absolutely right.
It is a question of education.
Maybe also to teach them that glass i.e. is a valuable thing.
The Mex's are throwing glass everywhere.
Recycling makes money for sure.
But so far I do believe that the Mex's are too stupid to learn how to make money.
Or do they just want to be poor???
Kinda lifestyle they know.
Why making a change?
In general > your questions are true, but do not make a diff in Baja.
I feel deeply sorry for those dumn-ass-guys here in Baja.

The Mexicans are going through the same thang the U.S. went through 50 years ago and they will come out of about the same as we did. don't through
rocks to soon . do you remember the highways in the U.S. in the 50s? Mexico has caught up about 50 years in the last twenty. so give it an other 20
years.

Hell, what are you talking about? Go visit Bakersfield, West Sacramento, Rio Linda. or any other dozen cities I've been to in the USA . Very close to
the same as Mexico. I found that MOST homes in Mexico are clean and orderly...Lets not lay a blanket picture out on this country. Not all Mexican
Citizens enjoy the filth that may lay within the cities.
What control freaks there are here. Don\'t believe that post you just read!

It seems some particular areas are unofficially sited as open dumping lands. We all know the spots but you are all correct, I do remember "Tin Can
Beach" now Bolsa Chica and totally sterile now. And the San Jauquin Valley still holds some nasty places. But it really does bother people from US and
it would behoove them to remove it. I guess that if real property value was high enough than the trash would be displaced by capitalism like in Bolsa
Chica. But u r probably right....40 - 50 years from now it wont be the same. Can us anal Americans wait. That part doesn't matter. The home on the
other hand, like said, is a mans(or womans) castle and the homes clean so maybe it is a mindset.

Yes! Here is a photo (from Ed Vernon) of the FIRST San Bruno established in 1683
