Merle,
USA has done great things about air quality. I understand that Los Angeles now
has many days when the mountains can be seen. ;-)
And the smog in the Grand Canyon upstate from me is greatly lessened, so the
visibility is much better there, and tourists, and Tourism, appreciate it.
Obama's administration mandated the DOUBLING of fleet-average fuel efficiency
of vehicles by a date-certain. In his 2nd term, he may have his EPA do more,
esp. concerning coal-fired power plants, here.
Great things are happening here in USA with respect to air quality assurance.
We observational astronomers are thrilled about this. The InfraRed observers
are less sanguine, because IR will penetrate through a LOT of crud, anyhow.
But, they're breathing easier, at least. And there is less asthma and
emphysema among non-smokers.
History of the air quality and transparency in USA has followed the same
progress as Zen practice, for a devotee. I. e.,
...in the words of Donovan's lyrics: "First, there is mountain; then, there IS
no mountain; then, there IS!"
Pretty nimble, eh?, my keeping this post on-topic in a Zen forum?
;-)
