The Chinese New Year and fireworks
- I was impressed by the story that pollution has gotten so bad in China that there was a huge drop in fireworks sales for the New Year celebration.
- It was impressive that an environmental problem could get so bad that people would reduce consumption.
- Usually we shrug off the problem as being impossible to deal with, and continue consuming. I do it too, so I'm not preaching.
- I guess if you can't breathe there really isn't much fun in adding more smoke to the atmosphere.
