“If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.” Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE-65 AD, bio link)
Look children in the eye and tell them that relaxing air quality standards is the best thing for their future, that freedom to pollute is one of their rights.
There are numerous wire service stories from all over the world, that report foul air from wild land fires and foul air from human generated combustion systems. It is also reported that many people of all ages are suffering the consequences of breathing these combustion gases.
There is a growing agreement that human combustion systems are significantly adding to an increase in harmful to life chemicals contaminating our atmosphere with immediate and long term consequences in areas not immediately affected by the tons of contaminants entering the atmosphere from the wild land fires. The people in these areas are suffering the consequences of known progress and the maintenance and growth of this progress, some of the stuff people and nations fight about.
There is a time coming when the number and intensity of illnesses associated with this human caused pollution increases beyond today’s belief and the reality that there is no pill for oxidative stress caused traumas, will finally smother the madness associated with telling our children that relaxing air quality standards is good for their future. I am still a youngster to some and I don’t believe it.
The stories are true, so are the measurements. The medical community and their researchers are noting illness increases all over the planet as a result of breathing combustion gases and their derivatives. This is something to believe. This is something to react to.

Will we have to wait until this catastrophe is felt even deeper to react? Do we have to wait until a river or the sky catches on fire to begin to fix the problem? That seems to be our instinct.
