Some time ago, after a trip to Germany, stepping off of the plane in L.A., I noticed the incredible difference in the air of California compared to Europe.

Because of it, I purchase a large house in Germany among fields and beechwood forest, with clean and crisp air that one should bottle. Would sell like-you know what

Read an article about the air in Tokyo. They walk around with a mask, they even have Oxygen-Bars. Something we will need in this country very soon if we don't do something about it. But who do you complain to when so many Hot-Shots drive these big SUV that get something like 10-14 miles to the gallon. Have you ever checked on the average miles per gallon on the average car in Europe. I have one over there, a Rabbit-Diesel, runs on Bio-Fuel (made

from Rps-Oil and Peanut-Oil AND gets at least 50 Miles per Gallon of fuel. And that is in city-traffic.Another thing is: the population rides a Bicycle to go to work and shopping. Can anyone see the average, over-fed, obese waddeling american driving a Cycle to work or-

god forbid pooling driving or take the train ?

This country has a lot to lern from other countries, but I don't hold my breath !!!!!

How about stopping whom ever is responsible and carrying out "Weather modification programs" or Chem trail spraying going on daily around the USA and world. Not to mention the various experimental bio-weapon experimental programs that are being conducted (now) without our permission as they have been done in the past.Releasing Barium, aluminum,and various bacteria and viruses in the skies to spread out over all OF US. STOP THE MADNESS NOW!

Excellent reporting--thanks!

It is amazing to me that we have ignored this and water pollution. Hopefully we can start:

1) using and developing solar energy and NOT nuclear

2) developing PUBLIC transportation

3) shutting down coal and mega farms
