Mandatory jury duty harms the environment
Problems with mandatory jury duty

courthouse.

Distant courthouse
Drafted
jurors are required to travel
very far to distant courthouses
instead of the courthouse that is
closest to where they live.

Drafted jurors have to drive long distances to distant
courthouses and that driving hurts the environment
by polluting the air and adding greenhouse gas and
creating replacement gasoline often includes the use
of toxic chemicals that pollute water.

Mandatory jury duty is responsible for a large portion of global warming.
Earth will eventually become extremely HOT if mandatory jury duty
is allowed to continue in the United States. ( About 250 degrees. )

Alternatives to mandatory jury duty

ALL VOLUNTEER
JURY SYSTEM
Volunteers choose a starting
week and a courthouse even though
they do not choose a specific room
or trial.
Volunteers will be able to reduce
driving by choosing a courthouse
that is closest to where they live.

Automatically
excuse people
who fail to show
up or reply to
a summons
Set the fine for ignoring a
jury summons to zero.
People will not come if::
- important work
- important school
- court too far away

Repeal sixth

constitutional
amendments.
Several Radio talk show
hosts have advocated changing
the U.S. Constitution to totally
abolish juries.

and it should include a discussion of drafted jurors not
going to the courthouse that is closest to where they live.

The Court employees in charge of determining who gets summonned
to which courthouse
DO NOT BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING.
In 1987 they required a 20 mile distance for drafted jurors.
Later, in 2013, they began advocating a 50 mile distance to court
for drafted jurors.
Global warming is increasing exponentially in response to this
increase in distance traveled by drafted jurors.

( potential environmental appeals court appeal grounds is that
If a black person chooses to live in a all white neighborhood they
forfeit the right to summon black people to their jury.)

( it is unreasonable for the court to require jurors without cars to
walk more than 5 miles to jury duty )

Abolishing mandatory jury duty is the only solution to this problem.
Earth WILL BURN if mandatory jury duty is not abolished extremely soon.
It's a week or two. Maybe a month.
Commuting to work, which may entail an even longer drive, probably does more harm, because it happens five days a week.
Proposition JJJ was recently duly passed by voters to
make it easier for developers to build more apartments
near where people work. Implementing proposition JJJ
by building new apartment buildings near where people
work will partially reduce global warming.
Additional reductions in driving from eliminating mandatory
jury duty will then provide a sufficient total reduction in
global warming to enable life on Earth to be saved.
Even the very small change of just setting the fine
for dodging jury duty to zero to automatically excuse
people who do not show up to jury duty will be enough to
solve the global warming problem.
The link

is a reminder that:
1 ) under mandatory jury duty jurors are usually
summoned to distant courthouses.
.
2 ) it is very difficult or even impossible to change to serve
at a closer courthouse.
.
This is a reminder that making jury duty voluntary where
jurors choose a COURTHOUSE and a starting week
( but not a specific trial ! ) is the ONLY WAY to
defeat global warming!!
Traveling to mandatory jury duty remains the biggest
cause of global warming as long as jury duty
remains mandatory. Everything else has already
been worked on!!
