(Natural News) California used to be known for its beautiful cities and landscapes, but it seems liberal ideologies have turned the “Golden State” into the “Garbage State.” While Californian cities have long been mocked for their street-pooping problems, the coastal state is now seeing its beaches destroyed by waves of refuse and human waste.
Home to eight of the ten most polluted citiesin the U.S, California seems to be getting more uninhabitable by the day. As one of the nation’s most deeply blue states, California’s garbage problem is almost funny — if it weren’t for the fact that liberals are clearly destroying the planet they pretend to protect. California cities have come under fire in the past for filthy conditions and human waste problems, but it seems these issues are now spreading to other areas of the state.
After recent rains, residents of Southern California say that many nearby beaches are covered in all kinds of refuse. Dirty diapers, used syringes and old furniture are just some of the waste seen on the shores. As KTLA reports, the piles of trash are coming from storm drains along the San Gabriel River.
The mouth of the river opens up into the ocean, allowing whatever garbage to float freely right onto the beach. And it’s happening all the time.
Seal Beach resident Jamison Delfino told KTLA, a local television station, “Every time it rains there’s just tons and tons of trash … anything you can think of.”
Delfino stated further that she doesn’t even go in the water anymore because of all the pollution.
Multiple organizations, such as Surfrider Foundation and Save Our Beach, reportedly host events to help keep the beaches clean. But clearly, the beaches are not the problem — pollution from storm water is.
If dirty diapers from storm water drains are ending up in the ocean, it’s not by osmosis — its because careless people didn’t dispose of their waste properly.
For a state that prides itself on being a leader in environmentalism, the amount of pollution in California is truly astounding. As has happened time and time again, left-wing policies have likely made the state’s pollution problems worse.

March 10, 2019 at 3:39 pmLook at that beach, we should all be outraged! Oh, wait, that’s not Seal Beach? That picture is from 2014? Why did they do that? Why did they put that picture in there? How can I believe the article? What’s the slant on the article? Ah, “liberal ideologies” ! A bash on Democrats. LOL, yes it is the liberal democrats causing this because we all know that Republicans eat their trash.
Wayne, really? So for you folks at home welcome to a perfect example of misinformation. The subject isn’t really about pollution it’s about politics. Wayne go stand in the corner – you deserve it.

March 10, 2019 at 8:27 pmWell, we live in a glass house here on The Eastern Shore so I’m not gonna throw any stones at California. No matter how much I want to. There are parts of California that are absolutely beautiful, and ya’ gotta love ’em. Then again, there are monumental problems there and you couldn’t pay me to live there. I do not like the place. BUT when we have lotsa rain here our Chesapeake Bay and Eastern Shore become closed to shellfish harvesting. That isn’t because the runoff from our shores entering the water is creating a pristine situation. I’m just saying………..

March 12, 2019 at 6:50 pmHi Wayne-
Glad to see this story from Natural News. I’m surprised that you aren’t selling those “health supplements” from The Health Ranger as well. Maybe that is a step you are not willing to take, at least for now….
Anyways, in related economic news about California from Forbes Magazine: California produced 3 TRILLION in annual gross domestic product and has the world’s fifth largest economy.
The culture of creativity that harvests big returns on investments has found a home in California and it drives the rightwingers crazy.
And I celebrate their continuing success story – both as an American and an investor.
Note: Thanks David, we take submissions from different places. Would love to publish something from you sometime.

PLUS most public debt.
PLUS most degraded infrastructure.
PLUS water restrictions
PLUS crime
and then take away google, etc…..and your economy is almost ALMOST as good as Venezuela’s.
But hey, you just keep on splitting the nation into the have and the have nots. That’s ALWAYS worked out well for your side, historically.
Progressives delenda est.

March 13, 2019 at 1:28 amWell, as I have said before, I am a conservative and registered independent voter. My comment here is that I didn’t realize this was a political, or investment thread, that was running here. Although I do certainly believe that many times it can be said that politics should be heaped right in with garbage.
That being said, I must say I never hear any conservatives begrudge California the creative and commercial successes of that state. I/they/conservatives also very much celebrate their entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities, and the investment opportunities there. We (if I may speak for some of them) are not at all driven crazy by those wonderful attributes of The Golden State. After all, many of us are capitalists. So I do not understand or accept the premise of an earlier comment that Cal’s successes drive conservatives crazy.
Some of the serious disagreement with the west coast is over Kate’s Law, desire for no borders, Hollywood expecting us to accept the premise of their ridiculous movies, and their holier than thou attitude as to how we should think and how we should live our lives. It is becoming very obvious and very exposed that Silicon Valley is guiding our thoughts with their search engines and algorithms in order to deny us free speech and thought, and when they are called in front of Congress they lie about what they are doing and that they are going to fix it. A few weeks later, like 4 days ago, they come out and say they are going to go about securing our info in so much better a way, and it’s a crock. The problem is that SOME of those Silicon Valley folks think we are backward and stupid, and that is what drives us crazy. They think they are smarter and can lead us down a better road for our own good. In reality ? They don’t know Jack.
They prove that every single day by supporting the socialist and liberal ideals that have led to so many homeless in the streets, along with their fecal matter. They are destroying the state from within, and so many people’s desire to visit it, and continue to refuse to even recognize the problems, while telling us (again) that they know better than us. THAT is what makes us shake our heads and drives us crazy. It’s the reason I have never had, and never will have, a Facebook account.
