IMPURITEASE IN THE AIR
AT THE TASSEL CLUB
Pollution is not just something that happens to "the environment." It affects the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land we grow our food on. When it comes to us water-drinking, air-breathing, food-eating humans, see Grinning Planet's feature article to find out about the relationship between pollution and health.
QUOTH THE MAVEN
Lester Brown: "In Mexico City, Tehran, Kolkata, Bangkok, Shanghai, and hundreds of other cities, the air is no longer safe to breathe. In some cities, the air is so polluted that breathing is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes per day."
THE YELLOW PERIL
Deluged with dandelions but not liking the idea of spraying your lawn with 2,4-D pesticides in areas where kids and pets play? Check out our article on non-toxic dandelion removal methods, including the recently added reader suggestion, The Dandelion Stomp.

In her essay

WORLD MADE BY HAND
James Howard Kunstler's novel World Made By Hand places us a couple of decades into the future, when today's globalized high-energy techno-industrialism is gone, replaced by a hyper-local, low-energy, low-tech existence—an uninvited, unwanted change borne of natural limits, pandemic losses of life, and the general ineptitude of today's leaders. Weather or not you're a Peak Oiler, World Made By Hand is a good book to try—it shows just how much things would change in a world without global supply chains keeping stores stocked using just-it-time delivery systems.
