Best way to hook up a #solarpanel connected to an #airquality station? I have it currently hooked up direct, but the panel is draining the battery, so it doesn't even last the evening.
Just amplifying this post which is slightly horrifying - if you are using tap water in your ultrasonic humidifier, you're basically inhaling the equivalent of 9 cigarettes a night: https://mstdn.science/@jeffgilchrist/111870333897769088
This does make me wonder why ANYONE should buy an ultrasonic humidifier - in Edmonton winter you easily go through ~2L water per day, cost aside just lugging that much distilled water weight home every day is a herculean effort. Unless you distill your own water? #AirPollution#AirQuality
"The rise in poor #AirQuality threatens to reverse the health benefits that followed [the 1970 Clean Air Act] and to hurt the U.S. economy
The number of unhealthy #AQI days is likely to grow in the coming decades due to #ClimateChange, First Street projected. Worst hit could be the Western states, but Eastern states aren't immune."
“Colorado issued a $10.5 million penalty on the Suncor refinery in Commerce City over three years of air pollution violations, calling it the largest-ever action against a single facility, and also settled a lawsuit with an agreement to double monitoring of air pollution at the fenceline of the troubled fuel plant.
Cars are bad for the environment - internal combustion engine cars especially so. Digging deeper, diesels, and, worst, old diesels.
Let's get diesel cars off the roads:
Ban sales of diesels manufactured from today. This is low-hanging fruit.
" Bring in a ramping yearly tax on diesels starting with >8 years old paying, say, €1000. Next year €2000 and for >6y.o. >€1000. And so on. Also ramp up tax / litre at the pumps.
