In Nashville, state lawmakers recently sent a bill that authorizes the removal of the Occupy Nashville camp to Governor Bill Haslam for his signature. This would outlaw all unauthorized camping on public grounds. The key word there is “unauthorized.” No one wants to outlaw protests; it just makes practical sense that there be permits utilized by protesters that might infringe on common areas used by the general public.
If this bill makes it into law there’s going to be a major cleanup over at the War Memorial Plaza where the Occupy Nashville protesters have set up camp since October 2011. This cleanup effort will probably fall to the municipal workers who will rack up some serious overtime charges. This is the same type of cleanup that would happen after any major gathering of folks like a parade or Fourth of July celebration. No matter how conscientious people claim to be there is still a lot of garbage left behind.
In our own lives we tend to generate some serious piles of garbage especially after we’ve moved from one home to another. All of those cardboard boxes and wrapping materials you used for the move are now ready to be thrown out. But it might be hard to stuff that amount of garbage into one single trash can. This is why you could benefit from hiring professional junk haulers like Junk King Nashville when you’re garbage has grown to excess.
Maybe the city of Nashville will contract its own team of professional junk haulers to help with the cleanup of the park. You could benefit from this type of assistance by having an extra set of hands to remove the bulky items from your home you no longer want to keep. Junk King’s pro hauling team will come to your house with an empty truck they will be eager to fill it up. You could use all those old cardboard boxes at the bottom of the truck and then pile on top the other things you want to get rid of.
Is it finally time to throw out that old table or sofa? Are you ready to get rid of those rusting auto parts? Is there just too much junk in your basement or garage that should be thrown out? All of that can be driven away in the back of the junk haulers’ truck. Getting rid of all that garbage is a way to reclaim valuable storage space in your home. There is nothing to protest about that!
You don’t have to travel far round Nashville to find some good food and good music; it’s pretty much around every corner. One thing that’s not so good about Nashville is the chance of a tornado blowing through town. Nashville residents were recently reminded of this when a tornado warning was issued in the early part of January. You don’t normally associate these kinds of storms during the winter but lately Mother Nature hasn’t been very predictable. This is left a lot of local folks scrambling for cover with very little warning. Fortunately, this latest incident came and went without much damage. But anyone who has lived through a good old-fashioned Nashville storm knows that there could be a major path of destruction left in its wake.
As with every other local state government, Tennessee is getting into the energy efficient business by setting up projects that will be sponsored by the Clean Tennessee Energy Grant program. The funding from these projects comes from the April 2011 Clean Air Act Settlement with the Tennessee Valley Authority. As part of this settlement the state will receive over $26 million to fund clean air projects.
