They want to establish a fund for further restoration by manufacturing license plates via an industrial manufacturing process that generates toxic waste that logically finds its way from the Florida State prison where they’re made on down to good old Biscayne Bay.
A veritable cornucopia of hazardous waste materials are the byproduct that water cycle information logic says ends up as toxic waste in the water column. The water column in Biscayne Bay, and everywhere else on the way down.
The fresh water column, and the salt water column.
In the fish, and in the plants.
In the seagrass.
In the arthropods, the cephalopods, the lobsters, and the crabs.
Don’t forget the shrimp.
Toxic byproducts making dolphins go eeeep yyyeeyayaahaag glarg, choke, and die, maybe, eventually, that’s what toxicity is.
License plates for Miami-Dade County are manufactured at the license plate plant at Union Correctional Facility in Raiford, Florida, which is a state prison managed by the Florida Department of Corrections.
Shit rolls down hill, and everything that starts up as toxic waste in the water cycle up north, travels south to Miami, and ends up helping to create the nasty cess pool look of the water going into FLorida Bay. Making sure to flow off into Biscayne Bay first as well.
Of course, there’s never been a study to document the specific toxicity of waste material created in the manufacturing of license plates at Union Correctional in Raiford, Florida, but it’s because we already know the answer, thank you Occam’s Razor.
Every other element introduced into the water cycle in central, or even northern Florida does make it into South Florida waters via gravity (slowly rolling sheet flow), subterranean movement through the porous limestone rock, and rainfall.
What does the manufacturing process for license plates look like, you ask?
Bauxite, aluminum, industrial reflective paint, solvent, stamping, plating, embossing, shipping, handling etc.
Big machines that need lots of deadly degreaser.
You know, the same basic process that introduces other forever chemicals into the everglades and the ocean. The creeks and the bays. The aquifer transporting all that liquid through the holey calcite.
Some of the potential toxic byproducts of license plate manufacturing include what comes from the usage of chromium, barium, and maybe even lead in the paint. Acid solutions from the cleaning process. Organic solvents that might include hazardous trichloroethylene, methylene chloride (recently set for federal ban), and xylene.
Disposal of hazardous waste byproducts in the manufacturing process of license plates in Florida are most likely taken to a federally regulated waste incinerator in a process ostensibly supervised by the FDEP, Florida Department of Envionmental Regulation and Protection.
Incinerator waste goes straight up into the air and comes back down as rain, rain, rain. Or gets caught in the wind and travels just as fast across the land. Dioxins do it. Heavy metals do it. Particulates. Pollutants. Disease inducing dirty vestiges of the incinerated material meant to be destroyed.
So thanks a lot Miami Foundation for allowing the people of Miami to raise money for Biscayne Bay restoration by manufacturing all new pollution which naturally reoccurs in the very same waters you claim to protect all thanks to your silly idea.
What
a bunch of idiots. Satire. Who the hell is the Miami Foundation anyway,
they seem dumber than me and I’m no genius.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the Miami Foundation will have 24 months to pre-sell 3,000 plate vouchers, so their minimum viable waste production quotient will equal at least 3,000 license plates worth of toxic byproduct starting at that prison up in Raiford.
Miami Foundation, I gotta say, that’s a bad idea and it makes me wonder if you own stock in the the reflective metal sales business, or what relationship is making that seem like a good deal to whoever sold you on it. Satire.
GTFOH with your silly toxic bay idea. I don’t like it.
