Air Pollution - The Deadly Results Including Climate Change

Let’s talk environmental pollution ahead of climate change !
 
The article attached "Air Pollution is Now More Deadly Than War, Smoking and TB" started me thinking about pollution, the loss of focus from pollution in general as we seem distracted by global warming or climate change, is it occurring, or what is at fault.  These are the results of environmental pollution.  Pollution is the root cause.   
Old fashioned Pollution, been around for a very long time. 
There are many types of environmental pollutants defined as: the presence of or introduction into the environment which has harmful or poisonous effects, pretty simple, and these pollutants come from a variety of sources some with much higher levels.   Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Soil/Land Pollution, Noise Pollution, yes even Light Pollution, Solid Waste Pollution, All Environmental Pollutants.  The world needs to tackle them all, it affects us all ultimately.  And we’ll talk about them all in future posts but today in honor of the attached article let’s talk Air Pollution.

Air pollutants can be classified with primary pollutants and secondary pollutants.  There are many types of primary pollutants like the burning of fossil fuels which release sulfur dioxide emitted from factories or carbon monoxide from your car. (we’ll talk more about this later).  Secondary pollutants are the co-mingling in the air of the primary pollutants, some incredibly scary chemical reactions happen when these things mix.  Smog is a result of the interaction of some primary pollutants.  Smog that creates respiratory distress for millions.  People who rely every day on air quality reports to tell them whether or not they can go outside.  But so not to digress, on to what causes of these primary pollutants.

1. The burning of fossil fuels.   From sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal and petroleum, to the pollutants released from cars, planes, trucks etc., including the incomplete combustion releasing carbon monoxide coming mainly from motorized vehicles, and to nitrogen oxides both from natural and man-made processes.  The burning of fossil fuels is the number one pollutant of which our transportation system is a part.

2.  Agriculture.  Ammonia is one of the most hazardous gases in the atmosphere.  Common in agricultural practices.  Insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers all emit many hazards including ammonia into our air.  The practice of growing our food by poisons seems irrational to me.  As Jane Goodall said, something like, someday we’ll look upon this dark time of agriculture and shake our heads.  How could we ever have believed that it would be a good idea to grow our food with poisons.

3. Exhaust from Factories and Industry.  Large amounts of carbon monoxide, hydro carbons, chemicals and organic compounds are released.  Petroleum factories release an incredible amount of hydro carbons.

4. Mining Operations.  These operations in the process, release a massive amount of air pollution.  From the chemical release into the air from the process to the large equipment used.

5. Indoor Air Pollution.  From the chemicals we clean with to the paint we paint with, they emit chemicals detrimental to the air we breathe.

What are the effects of these pollutants ?

1.  Health Problems from cancer to respiratory and heart ailments.  The World Health Organization estimates that 4.2 million people die each year from the results of exposure to ambient outdoor air pollution.  They estimate that 3.8 million die a year from indoor household exposure to pollutants, fuel systems, cook stoves, household chemicals, cleaners, paints etc.  And say that 91% of the world’s population lives in areas exceeding WHO guideline limits.

2. Global Warming/Climate Change/Greenhouse Gases.  Obvious effects, warming air temperatures, melting sea ice and sea level rise causing displacement of habitat for all populations, disaster on the horizon.

3. Ozone Layer Depletion.  It’s what protects us from the sun, and our crops too.  Chloro and Hydro Chloro Fluorocarbons are the cause and can be limited.

4.  Acid Rain – From the burning of fossil fuels, the toxic chemicals come down along with the rain turning to acid, creating havoc for our waters, soil, thus crops. Wildlife Effects – the movement of wildlife, changing their habitat to escape the toxicity of their air.  There’s less and less escape as we continue to pollute.

5.  Etrophication – high levels of nitrogen settling on water developing into algae affecting water life. These are all man-made pollutants. 

There are natural pollutants too.  Dust carried from the wind from non-green areas, gases released from body processes of the living, you and cattle, smoke and gases from natural disasters like volcanos. 

All affect the quality of the air we breathe.  Don’t we have a responsibility to affect and change what we can, what we created.

WHAT CAN WE DO ?  WHAT SHOULD WE DO ?  WHAT PRIORITY SHOULD WE HAVE ?
In our methods we must make adjustments we may not like, that may change the way we live our daily lives but the longer we wait the harder it gets.  Think of our kids, their future, giving them a chance.  Through the care of our planet and of yourself you can save another life too.  Our youth is angry that we’re not willing, even for them to change.  Change is not easy, Change is costly, Change will cost jobs.  All the reasons we hear for continuing the same destructive path.   The real cost will be when our planet can no longer support us.  What we do now is what the future will be.  Reduce our Air Pollution. We can’t solve it all but what we can do does make a difference and it shows our kids that we do care about their future.

Things You Can Do

 1.  Purchase Energy Efficient as much as you can.  From Appliances to Vehicles to your Lighting.  If not an electric car purchase vehicles that reduce your gas consumption.

2.  Use public transportation.

3.  Support and emphasize clean energy resources– Solar, Wind, Hydro

4.   Conserve Energy.  Use it wisely.  The more you conserve the less fossil fuels are burned in energy production.

5.  Purchase only chemical free products.  It’s these products that release harmful chemicals into your air.  Manufacturer’s will adjust if there is no market for the harmful products they produce.  Hit them in the pocket, (sadly this is what it would take), and they will change.
6.  Understand the concepts of reduce, re-use and recycle.

7.  Finally talk to people.  Educate and be educated.  It’s conversation worth having.

Valentine's Day Gift Cards ?

We Think Valentine's Day Gift Cards are a Great Gift and Here's Why !

If you're viewing this you have had trouble figuring out what to give your love for Valentine's Day and the clock is ticking.  Do yourself a favor and stop worrying. 

Either alone, or pared with a single rose (or more), a box of chocolate, or a homemade dinner (gourmet or not), your partner will appreciate the thought put into a gift card to products or stores they have a passion for or appreciate.  One of my favorite gifts to receive is a gift card to my favorite store.

Now speaking from experience, for people who have been with their partners a long time, in all likely hood a lot of chocolate and flowers have flowed through your life over the years.  So you're looking frequently for something a little different.  Something that will stick in their minds.  And there are fabulous, creative ways to show them how much you care, but you're running out of ideas and of time, hey you've been doing it for many years, we understand, I understand.

A gift card to me allows me to enjoy the anticipation of taking the time to shop in my busy life.  I shop on-line so I watch for deals and sale items to purchase with my gift card.  I take the time to look at new and exciting products on the site and I know the person who gave the card to me thought about what I care about, what I buy, what is interesting to me.  It actually gives me months of enjoyment, and I'm certainly not even close to what you would call a shopaholic.  Then I order, sometimes more than once, and receive exactly what I want.  Sometimes I purchase things we both can enjoy. 
I can't ask for more satisfaction than that, and through it all I think of the person that gave it to me. 

A gift card can be romantic !

For Valentine's Day I want Valentine's Day Gift Cards Please. (hint hint)

Relieve the stress you feel, just think about what your partner cares about, and purchase an appropriate gift card.  And hey do a chore for them that they have to do all the time, like making dinner (hint hint), or doing the dishes, or washing the car, or........

If you live an organic lifestyle and care about using products that are the most body and earth friendly, consider a My Organic Access Gift Certificate. 
From Organic Clothing, Organic Body Care, Organic Beauty, Organic Tea's and Spices and Organic Bubble Bath and Bath Salts, and Way Beyond with hundreds of natural and organic products and clothing.  New products being added weekly too !

Natural and Organic Tick Repellent

Safe Natural Bug Protection for Your Family

We are located in the Northeast US along the Canadian Border.  We have not a few deer, we have herds of deer never mind the chipmunks, squirrels and other animals that ticks cling to.  We have been here over 25 years and until last fall had never had tick problems.  Last fall I got my first tick.  This spring I got my second tick and am a little freaked out, really freaked out actually.  But yard work must be done.  So I have spent the last week dressing and more dressing for yard work.  Lots of layered clothes, everything tucked in with no openings (any openings have been taped), bug hat in place, spray the clothes and any exposed skin with Tick Repellent and we are good to go, a little hot but I am protected.  My neighbors don't understand and think I have lost my mind.  Better hot and safe then to spend an hour removing ticks that could give me lyme disease or any of the other diseases carried by ticks.  I have learned a lot about ticks, the three stages of development and preferring a new host for each stage.  I can even now tell a female from a male.  A lot of things I did not really want to know but am now glad that I do for me and my family.  To learn more about ticks visit - https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/index.html
Ticks hang out in tall grass, in leaf piles and in the lower branches of trees just waiting for the next victim to walk by so they can drop onto or grab on to you.  Stay out of the tall grass as much as possible.  Keep your lawn meticulously trimmed.  Walk pathways if possible (not deer trails though).  And Remember to not transmit ticks from clothes worn outside to other clothing or bring them into your living areas.  Put clothes in the dryer on high heat for 60 minutes and ticks will be killed.  If you do get a tick proper removal is by tweezers with steady upward pressure until it is dislodged.  For more on proper tick removal please visit - https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/removing_a_tick.html

The Amazing Benefits of The Infinity Scarf

New Found Organic Fashion and Warmth !

I confess that I am not a fashionista so a lot of what I wear is for functionality rather than looks.  A few years ago my Mom (who knits with such perfection that things look store purchased) made me a simple yet beautiful infinity scarf.  I may have worn it a few times then put it on the winter shelf as it was a heavy scarf.  This year with our recent bouts of  weeks with weather at -20 degrees below 0 with a few of those days clocking in at -32 below without the windchill I have found the practical benefits of the infinity scarf.  After days of wearing a regular scarf wrapped around my face to protect from frost bite, being outside shoveling for days on end (as we also received many feet of snow, ughh), constantly readjusting my scarf to maintain protection, I came across this scarf on that winter shelf.  I decided to try that in the hopes that it would be less work to keep it where I put it for protection.  It worked !  The infinity circle made it much easier to remain where it was placed and it didn't end up hanging down my chest leaving me without protection.
I was floored that for the last couple of years I had not found this benefit (Mom would not be surprised) but am glad I did. 
Now it is my go to scarf for cold protection for my neck, cheeks, and nose.
In playing  with my infinity scarf during my non-shoveling moments I found that by arranging the scarf different ways it could have a number of different looks.   So I pulled out a lighter weight organic cotton and bamboo scarf that I have and started playing around with it, went on-line to find other ways of wearing it, and voila I found a stylish, practical accessory that has dressed up my cold weather outfits and which will dress up some warmer weather outfits as well.  Here is a great link that will give you ideas of how to wear your infinity scarf.

So weather it be warmth or fashion, an infinity scarf is a great functional, practical piece of fashion that has now become a must for my wardrobe.

Amazing Peace: A Christmas Poem

by: Dr. Maya Angelou

Thunder rumbles in the mountain passes
 
And lightning rattles the eaves of our houses.
Flood waters await us in our avenues.
 
Snow falls upon snow, falls upon snow to avalanche
over unprotected villages.
The sky slips low and grey and threatening.
 
We question ourselves.
What have we done to so affront nature?
We worry God.
Are you there? Are you there really?
Does the covenant you made with us still hold?
 
Into this climate of fear and apprehension, Christmas enters,
Streaming lights of joy, ringing bells of hope
and singing carols of forgiveness high up in the bright air.
The world is encouraged to come away from rancor,
come the way of friendship.
 
It is the Glad Season.
Thunder ebbs to silence and lightning sleeps quietly in the corner.
Flood waters recede into memory.
Snow becomes a yielding cushion to aid us
as we make our way to higher ground.
 
Hope is born again in the faces of children
it rides on the shoulders of our aged as they walk into their sunsets.
Hope spreads around the earth. Brightening all things,
even hate which crouches breeding in dark corridors.
 
In our joy, we think we hear a whisper.
At first it is too soft. Then only half heard.
We listen carefully as it gathers strength.
We hear a sweetness.
The word is Peace.
It is loud now. It is louder.
Louder than the explosion of bombs.
 
We tremble at the sound. We are thrilled by its presence.
It is what we have hungered for.
Not just the absence of war. But, true Peace.
A harmony of spirit, a comfort of courtesies.
Security for our beloveds and their beloveds.
 
We clap hands and welcome the Peace of Christmas.
We beckon this good season to wait a while with us.
We, Baptist and Buddhist, Methodist and Muslim, say come.
Peace.
Come and fill us and our world with your majesty.
We, the Jew and the Jainist, the Catholic and the Confucian,
Implore you, to stay a while with us.
So we may learn by your shimmering light
How to look beyond complexion and see community.
 
It is Christmas time, a halting of hate time.
 
On this platform of peace, we can create a language
to translate ourselves to ourselves and to each other.
 
At this Holy Instant, we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ
into the great religions of the world.
We jubilate the precious advent of trust.
We shout with glorious tongues at the coming of hope.
All the earth’s tribes loosen their voices
to celebrate the promise of Peace.
 
We, Angels and Mortal’s, Believers and Non-Believers,
Look heavenward and speak the word aloud.
Peace. We look at our world and speak the word aloud.
Peace. We look at each other, then into ourselves
and we say without shyness or apology or hesitation.
 
Peace, My Brother.
Peace, My Sister.
Peace, My Soul.
