| Carsten, how about making a small difference and getting people to stop smoking? Especailly the Dutch (Europeans) and marijuana. (Ok, I admit, the Yanks are crazy about marijuana too.) I hate industrial pollution as much as you, but I hate smoking even more. Smoking, including marijuana, directly affects my ability to even enjoy a decent meal or enjoy a drink. Let's clear the air first of cigarette smoke before we tackle the bigger problems of industrial pollution.
Here in California, since 1999, there is absolutely NO cigarette smoking allowed in any public place. NOT even in bars or nightclubs. I can go eat, dance, drink and be merry whereever in public and never have to worry about injesting secondhand smoke anywhere. There is no division of smoking and non-smoking sections. There is NO smoking period anywhere. In my dreams, I'd like to see that in China one day. |
