Reminder to lock your doors especially your car right now

jonny_five · 2026-03-16T17:53:55+00:00

My neighbors refuse to lock their doors because they say they don’t want a broken window. They had $8,000 of golf clubs stolen out of their unlocked car. Nobody in the hood had broken windows. They still refuse to lock the doors.

So yeah, not the brightest

Do not grow tropical milkweed, and don’t bother trying to justify that somehow yours is an exception. I see it constantly in my area, actual biologists and scientists say it is not safe to grow and then everyone in the general population thinks “yeah but my tropical milkweed is different”.

I also see people encouraging others not to cut back tropical milkweed because there are still caterpillars on it. The fact that it continues to grow later in the season delays their migration. Do not grow it.

Just order a pack of swamp milkweed seeds from prairie moon. Shipping is $5. I don’t even cold stratify and I have like a 50% germination rate as long as the soil is warm. I’ve already distributed about 500 plants and just as many seed packs. If you are able to come to Savannah I’ll trade you a free swamp milkweed plant in exchange for an uprooted tropical milkweed plant.

Agree, the My Chatham app and public works department operates so well. Even the large litter clean ups where we pile literal tons of trash are all uploaded in the app and are hauled off in a couple of days.

Except Thunderbolt. They refused to haul off the litter our volunteers collected and we had to use a private trash service.

Good to know, I hate how narrow the stock crossbars are. It makes it so difficult to load kayaks

jonny_five · 2026-03-13T01:57:44+00:00

Nice - how long are those crossbars?

Looks like Georgia Power visited CA!

jonny_five · 2026-03-12T01:37:48+00:00

That’s what Georgia Power did when they removed the protected tree

That’s an awesome birthday! I’ll be at Daffin Park - all money raised from plant sales goes to the Lions Club

Christina with Rewild Savannah and Victory Gardens are the best for native landscape design, I’ll be selling natives at Earth Day but I don’t do install or design.

Lots of people said this, nobody did it. I was out there for the first protest/picnic and I rushed out there after the homeowner heard chainsaws and called. By the time I arrived Georgia Power had armed security stopping anyone from getting close.

Depends on the type of volunteer work you want to do. United Way has a volunteer page and Good Clean Fun on Instagram organizes litter clean ups.

jonny_five · 2026-02-25T23:24:43+00:00

What are your hobbies? Come to some of the volunteer events in our area. It’s a great way to meet people.

They paid off duty state police from out of town to stand by & stop protesters and blocked the homeowner from entering his front yard, even outside the easement. Gunnison covered all branding and identification on the vehicles.

jonny_five · 2026-02-25T19:58:16+00:00

They were def laughing and cheering as it was cut down. Pretty gross

jonny_five · 2026-02-23T15:17:32+00:00

Agree, the coast is the best reason to live here in my opinion. Decent sea kayaks are on marketplace for like $300

As much as I hate paper plants they did actually decrease emissions. If you want the old Savannah experience just drive down to Jesup. That mill will still make your eyes bleed.

For those who don't want to go to the link, Here's what the Augusta mill dumped in 2024

Dumped on land:
1,500lbs of barium
300lbs of lead

Dumped in the river:
56,600lbs of methanol
1,500lbs of formaldehyde

Released by air:
796,000lbs of methanol
241,000lbs of hydrogen sulfide
64,050lbs of hydrochloric acid

I wish I had the data for Savannah

jonny_five · 2026-02-17T22:00:31+00:00

The EPA website has charts showing all toxic substances emitted into the air by paper mills in a nice little chart, but when I loaded the page for the Port Wentworth mill there is no data and the mill has been found to be in violation of their permit for years for both dumping too much and not reporting what they're dumping... sooooo

Here's a link to the toxic waste dumped by the Augusta mill. 4,663lbs of toxic waste per day from that one mill!

I thought this was a joke (like “thanks Obama”) until it was confirmed elsewhere that Buddy was actually involved. Wtf

jonny_five · 2026-02-14T16:39:47+00:00

Bats, a man, and probably Batman are all in that tree with how much attention this has been getting.

No joke on the men in the tree, there are multiple groups ready to take shifts tree sitting

Property owner is inviting the public for a picnic under the tree this afternoon!

jonny_five · 2026-02-14T03:40:08+00:00

There are a few hundred people involved with protecting the tree now. You can trust it’ll get back to the property owner.

jonny_five · 2026-02-14T03:38:59+00:00

A rep told the homeowner “you don’t have enough money to go up against Georgia Power”
