Frequent flying wipes out Zurich residents’ green gains at home

Zurich residents fly more than 10,000 kilometres a year on average. Those flights cause more climate pollution per person than all the heating systems, cars, buses and energy used inside the city combined

Has anyone tried making a PAPR or HEPA stroller? A few people have mentioned the concept but the only source I've found is this one paper: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-2430680/v1

I'd love practical tips. Right now I can't go into stores with my baby because she can't mask, having the ability to wheel her inside would greatly expand what I can do while caring for my child. Also useful during wildfire smoke.

Does anyone on Vancouver Island know who to contact to clean up a shore filled with trash. I picked up what I could but this needs a team and machinery.

There is oyster farm trash, 3 large concrete blocks filled with stirofoam, dozens of spent cartridges, lots of discarded fishing nets, small buoys, hard plastic tubes, plastic tape, cans, etc.

It's on the shore at the end of Wavell Rd, in Fanny Bay.

It's a sensitive habitat for lots of species.

The E.P.A. will no longer consider lives saved when setting rules on air pollution…the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives. #pollution #TrumpEPA #environment
