“To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.”
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881, bio link)

When air pollution threatens the health of people,  there are steps taken to alert people of vulnerable health to stay indoors. Every year there are more days in more cities worldwide where vulnerable people and even not so vulnerable people are warned about engaging in any physical activities outside due to the harmfulness of the atmosphere. Our air is being polluted by the consequences of acquiring fuels and their uses in providing energy for mankind.

Another calendar year blends into the new numerical order  of the year known to be 2013. We will no doubt note again the irony of the arguments regarding the strictness of air pollution regulations. Those arguing for less regulation may not be noticing they are arguing for more unhealthy air quality days. Are they really thinking about all of this? Do they really want more days where you can’t go outside? Less regulations mean dirtier, unhealthier air. Is this really what the goal is? I don’t want to believe it is.

Wood smoke can add to air pollution
Columbia Basin Herald
OLYMPIA - Gathering round the fire is a time-honored tradition in winter, but sometimes that fire will add to winter air pollution problems, according to the state Department of Health. "People most sensitive to air pollution are infants and children, adults 65 and older and those who suffer from respiratory infections, heart and lung (including asthma) disease, or have a history of stoke or diabetes," the Department of Health said…. "Sensitive people may have problems sooner and at lower levels of air pollution," the press release said. "The level of air pollution that causes health problems is different for each person. A simple activity such as taking a walk or walking the dog may cause problems for some people."

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790, bio link)

We often create a problem while working on solving another problem. This is one way that learning occurs.

Be careful with alternate power, heating and cooking systems. Hurricanes, tornadoes, wind & ice storms, snow storms, blizzards, earthquakes and wild fires equal power outages.

Have a plan; communicate the plan before you have to use it. Check the batteries on smoke and carbon monoxide alarms; have extras.

Follow and respect the rules, guidelines and recommendations of the community personnel responsible for emergency situation preparedness, response and guidance

“My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.” Agnetha Faltskog (1950, bio link)

The transition from one year to the next  in a time of scheduled holiday activities has more than its share of good times and not so good times. The heaviness and suffocating grasp the unexpected death of a friend or loved one has on us strains our abilities to do anything but mourn and breathe through the heartache. Whether it be the losses through random, violent acts, auto accidents or a gradual, unsuspecting poison stealing life from the living, they all result in survivors and those impacted by the losses.

There are some parts of our lives we may have more control  over to help safeguard and reduce the likelihood of some tragedies that are more foreseeable than others. Reducing exposure to carbon monoxide gas is more easily accomplished if you are aware that all combustion systems everywhere have the potential to generate deadly levels of the poison. And since there is no way you or I or anyone would know how well tuned and safe the heating equipment is in any other building we may work in, visit, go to school in, sleep in, shop in or whatever we do there, some awareness or measurement is the best safeguard.
