SPARE the AIR Day! June 16 Saturday

A Spare the Air Alert is in effect, Saturday, June 16, 2012, in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Concentrations of ground-level ozone pollution are forecast to be unhealthy tomorrow.

Residents are encouraged to drive less and reduce their energy use tomorrow and every day so pollution levels are lower, preventing health alerts when temperatures are high.

To help prevent smog this summer, please:
- Bike to work or around town
- Take public transit
- Telecommute
- Carpool and link your errands to reduce driving
- Avoid using gas-powered lawn mowers and leaf blowers
- Reduce household energy use
- Don’t use lighter fluid on the barbecue
- Avoid using aerosol spray cleaners, paints and hairspray

High levels of ozone pollution are particularly harmful for young children, seniors and those with respiratory and heart conditions. Vigorous outdoor exercise should be undertaken only in the early morning hours when ozone concentrations are lower.

Did you all notice the heavy weather modification spraying they did yesterday?

Look up each day. Ask yourself, does this sky look normal?

National Geographic has a story out about using a layer of sunscreen materials up in the atmosphere.

Aside from the harm to our lungs, water, and soil; these attempts to out-engineer climate change could instead become like a blanket, trapping the heat.

The risks from this experiment, are too great. Ecocide may be the outcome for our species, and maybe most, or all of the others on this planet.

Just doing a lot less of that which harms us; like getting off all extraction and burn fuels, and investing in a major re-planting of forests, etc.; is a safer way to go.
