Sedona Arizona Desecration

1 March 2016

It's time to put an END to the balloons, helicopters, fleets of pink jeeps
And ATV,s  that are desecrating Sedona,s wilderness areas.
The wilderness commons are being abused by money hungry tourist
Outfits that our filling our skies with noisy planes, repeated helicopter fly- overs and invasive morning balloon flights.  There are so many helicopters flying over our red rock country that it feels like we,re in Vietnam.  There,s no place one can hike or bike in Sedona,s sacred wilderness without being visually and auditorially assaulted by noisy
Tourist fly-overs and jeep/ATV incursions.
If this desecration and insanity is not put to an END willingly, then it will
Be put to an END by force.  By force, I mean by an economic collapse, which is now quickly coming down the pike in America.  The town of Sedona needs to radically scale back the invasive tourist industry here and instead work to build a local economy based on renewable solar energy (we have lots of sun) and locally produced organic food (we can plant fruit and nuts trees everywhere).  Let's us also work to completely terminate all gas-guzzling cars and SUV,s from our streets.
It's time for the town of Sedona to shift to a car-free transportation grid within its city limits.  That means shifting to walking, bicycling, electric vehicles and frequent electric free shuttles up and down main st.  In the municipality of Zermatt, Switzerland, they have banned all cars from their town.  Automobiles are parked 5 miles away in large parking lots with easy access to Zermatt via frequent rail service.  There,s no reason Sedona can,t do the same and end the insanity on main St that only causes gridlock, congestion, frustration, chaos and pollution of our local environment.
Who wouldn't,t like to stroll down main st in peace, solitude and quiet reverence, while enjoying the trees, the birds singing, talking to our neighbors, taking in the sun and enjoying the spectacular red rock beauty of nature all around us, without all the noise, chaos and insanity that the automobile brings to our environment?
This invasive tourist based industry needs to terminated.  Our nation and our world are being transformed into intelligently designed transportation
Grids and green, sustainable modalities of living and being.  The quantum shift towards the establishment of ecologically based communities is already underway.  Clean water, clean and abundant locally produced organic food, free energy and healthy, upright communities are our birthright on this planet.  Let's us all now work to put an end to the tourist cancer that is destroying our local community and learn to build the sustainable, green, wilderness protecting community we all are longing to live-in.
