Southern California currently has a patch work of national, state, county and city parks and trails that mostly didn’t exist before the 1970s. A plan has been afoot for some time to join them together to protect wildlife, open space, water supply, cultural assets and more.
The $68-billion high-speed rail project that would link L.A. to San Francisco in a 2.5 hour trip recently drew protests in Southern California over the planned segment between Palmdale and Burbank. But that doesn't mean that California isn't ready for a railway rather than a roadway for the growing traffic up and down the state.

In the past 20 years, the population of monarch butterflies has decreased by 90%. Herbicides like Monsanto's Roundup and genetically manipulated Roundup Ready crops have destroyed the milkweed plants monarchs rely on to eat and lay their eggs.
The key to helping the monarchs is to get them protected under the Endangered Species Act.
