Pollution is kind of a false concept.

http://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/documents/psw_gtr195/psw_gtr195_2_10_Temple.pdfThe first visible
signs of foliar O3 injury are chlorotic areas on the upper leaf surface, which reflect
the permanent loss of photosynthetic capacity in the chloroplasts of the underlying
cells. In broad-leaved plants these lesions usually are sharply defined by the network
of leaf veins and veinlets, producing a chlorotic stipple over the leaf surface. In
conifers, particularly in pines, the injury is more diffuse, producing a characteristic
O3 injury pattern known as chlorotic mottle. As O3 injury accumulates, the leaf
appears to age prematurely, leading to accelerated senescence and abscission of older
leaves. The reduction in both rate of photosynthesis and amount of photosynthetic
tissue in plants exposed to O3 can lead to significant reductions in total amounts of
carbon fixed over the course of the growing season, with concomitant reductions in
carbohydrates available for repair, growth, reproduction, and defense (Heath and
Taylor 1997).

2016-09-21 at 8:02 AM UTCPollution is bad not because it is pollution and it is bad but it's bad for the same reasons you don't spray paint all over your walls or throw trash on your floor. If you do that, you're a low life piece of shit and do not deserve a say in our worldly affairs. We should take care of our planet because it is our planet and our kid's planet and our grandkid's planet and so on. If you don't give a fuck about the planet, well, there's plenty of people who do.

Im which you on this. Maybe this has something to do with getting old, but I find that the constant noise, the smell of exhaust, and other such shit just make me more tired. Like, whenever I live in a new place, it takes me days to find that one good spot where I can go and read books that's quiet, clean, no fucking kids, no people asking you for money.
Also, as much as I fucking love industrialism in all its forms (the architecture, smells, sounds) I gotta admit that there's no better rest than going deep inna woods for a few days.
So yeah, pollution means less rest, less comfort.

2016-09-22 at 4:16 PM UTCLight pollution fucks with my Galileo-esque activities, I have never been able to use a telescope or stargaze effectively. Even in a small town of 5000 population I was surrounded by industry and I never saw shit. The only time I saw a clear starry night was when I was near Alaska a few hundred miles north in the oil fields and I was so far up that the sun never went down very often but when it did the view was fantastic.
