RECYLING
MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Recycling
all of the 100 million cell phones ready for end of life management in
the US would save enough energy to power more than 194,000 US
households with electricity for one year.
“By recycling all of its paper, plastic,
and corrugated waste generated in a year, an office building of 7,000
workers could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,200 metric tons of
carbon equivalent, the basic unit for measuring greenhouse gases. This
is equivalent to taking 900 cars off the road in one year.”

CALIFORNIA ACTIVISM
California’s
quintessential natural landscape; home of the California Condor, Tejon
Ranch encompasses more than 270,750 acres between Los Angeles
and Bakersfield near the Grapevine on Interstate 5. Here, someday, you
could explore a new national or state park, enjoying the oak-dappled
foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada, the fir-topped peaks of the
Tehachapi Mountains, and the poppy-covered desert slopes of Antelope
Valley—but we need your help.
The proposed upscale Tejon Mountain Village would
be located in California Condor critical habitat and would carve out
the heart of Tejon with 28,000 acres of golf courses, vacation homes
and commercial space. Located in secluded hills and canyons near Castac
Lake, the development will affect approximately 37,000 acres of oak
woodlands, grasslands, chaparral and scrublands; montane hardwoods and
conifers; pinyon-juniper woodlands; and wet meadows and riparian
woodlands. As designed, the Tejon Mountain Village would fragment the
pristine landscape of Tejon with 3,450 residential units, 750 hotel
units, four golf courses, and 160,000 square feet of commercial space.
While the Tejon Ranch Company touts the Tejon Mountain Village as an
“environmentally sensitive, light-touch” development, in fact, it is
just the opposite. No basic environmentally-sensitive design
tenets—cluster development, reduced lot sizes, or avoidance of rare and
endangered resources, to name a few—are included. This exclusive,
resort-style sprawl development would continue Tejon Ranch Company’s
elite-only access to California’s natural and cultural heritage. The
Tejon Mountain Village development would eliminate significant portions
of critical habitat used for foraging and roosting by the California
Condor, causing declines in this iconic California bird that already
glides perilously close to extinction.
