Arizona Game & Fish Joins Arizona Public Service for Earth Month Cleanup

This is the Arizona Public Services 140^th Anniversary in providing electrical power to its customers, where energy in part comes from the Palo Verde Generating Station which recycles over 20 billion gallons of wastewater annually.

Sources that people may not know of is the expansion of natural gas, and a growing portfolio of renewables like solar and wind. As of 2024–2025, the mix includes substantial generation from carbon-free sources, with a goal to achieve 100% clean energy by 2050.

For this year’s Earth Month, APS has teamed up with the Arizona Game and Fish Department to provide cleanup projects on April 29^th in specific areas that are in need. The list can be found at AZGFD 

Earth Month will be out @ the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area NE Central Trailhead parking lot 2439 S. Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004 7:00 am – 9:30 am.

Earth Month is granted many Proclamations globally from governments to universities and industries. Being that we are in Arizona this is the one from the City of Maricopa presented to us April 7, 2026. For others, please mail them in.

Qatar has been very busy the past couple of years and built the larget sewater desalination plant in the world. It will produce 600-M liters or over 158 -M gallons of filtered/permeate water  a day. Some of the issues are the increased salinty of water returned to the sea and energy consumption. Research is being performed in Japan as well to blend the concentrate with fresh water to create energy.

We have worked on and waited for decades for progress on this issue to come to fruition. On April 2nd, an event with Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a landmark set of actions to safeguard the nation's drinking water from microplastics, pharmaceuticals, 

forever chemicals, and dozens of other contaminants. Read the full press release 

Thanks, Sam (Dr. Sheri Mason), for your esteemed dedication and fine work!

This does create another issue. Once the chemicals and microplastic are removed from wastewater they are present in the sludge. Sludge is utilized in farming which means that the materials in the sludge seep into the ground and migrate to water tables, or stay on the surface and contaminate crops, this then extends to grazing contamination.

Sludge would need to be tested with bioremediated in rotating furnaces and then mixed with other clean materials for fertilization process. This research and testing will take some time as well.

On February 27, 2026, Kris Mayes, Attorney General for the State of Arizona, was presented with the Environmental Excellence Award for her "distinguished service, steadfast leadership, and extraordinary commitment to upholding the highest principles of justice, involving pipeline safety, renewable energy, protection of our environment and ecosystems through environmental sustainability, and most prevalent today in securing our water resources for future generations"

Our Environmental Ambassador Bea Pasco in the Northern Mandando Region of the Philippines has been working hard.

Just to get an idea of the Asain delemma as aggression from China and North Korea increases, affecting oil, electricity, and food supplies, and in want of their natural resources, the price of everything has risen substantially. This is critical when the average wage in PH is between $2.00 - $3.50 and hour, depending on which of the three economic regions they are in.

The price of oil has increased, and consumer costs have more than doubled for each liter, now averaging 99.30 PHP per liter, which converts to $1.66 per liter and equals about $6.28 per gallon. USD and veries by location, as of April 10th. Fuel stations are hoarding and overcharging in a competitive market.

Many transportation industries are on strike. President Marcos has implemented a national energy emergency. Russia has dispatched the Sara Sky to the Pentron Corp refinery with 700,000 barrels of crude, which should arrive by March 26th. This would add 13.3 to 14 million gallons of gasoline. They consume approximately 124,000 barrels of gasoline per day. 

Here we are on April 4th…Earth Month’s 56th  Anniversary!

Some of our themes in the past have been: Our Planet In Crisis, Climate Change, Together We Can Make A Difference, Plastic Pollution, a Global Climate Crisis, and this year's theme "Water Security Now and For Our Future,"  was developed in accordance with the increase of Climate Change and Global Warming effects on water supply and potability, a crisis indeed.

Without water, we have diminished crops which prevent the proper pollination by bees, and reduce not only their production but also cause harm to the bees.

Expanding its effect will cover the globe economically and cause shortages in food production, which means fewer pollinators for plants and much more.

We hope and pray that all are well globally in the critical times. Please keep safe and do what is legally and lawfully necessary to keep yourself and others safe. 

The Apostle John stated that "...and to bring ruin to those ruining the earth." Rev. 11:18c. This verse describes that there will be a time in the very near future when matters of the destruction of our physical earth by industry, governments, and wars will once again be restored to the paradise in which it was intended for humans forever.

The second application is spiritual, as the earth will again be restored to a spiritual paradise that was once lost by Adam and Eve, and sin will be no more. 

Would you want to be there too? Our work is just the start to get there.

Our work is vast and performed globally for the benefit of humankind. The cost of such has grown exponentially over the years. We have mostly relied upon volunteers, but this is no longer the case.  

Many environmental non-profits can secure large amounts of donations and grant funding. You can research it for an individual organization, for those who report.

Our funding is very short for the year. We need to secure funding to address the shortfall and continue our global work. Our work covers areas that others do not or will not touch.  Thanks to video conferencing platforms, travel costs are minimized.

We hope that you will support not only our efforts but also our work. It is a matter of literally saving our only home…Earth and the human lives that are upon it.

Thank you for your understanding and support, so let’s get to work!
