2 Responses to Like polluted cities, Wyoming open space now has ozone pollution alerts

    =That is absolutely ridiculous.

  2. Mike says:

    Coming from Chicago, this really eats at me. This is the kind of place you get ozone pollution days where it becomes harder to breath and you are advised to stay indoors. The fact that a wide open country like Wyoming is getting these is incredibly disturbing. That tells you just how bad it really is.

Quote

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

~ Edward Abbey
