In a study in Finnish daycare centers, researchers found that air purifiers decreased children's illnesses by as much as 18.2 percent.
We must pass legislation that incentivizes and requires clean indoor air.

Robin Riley (fka Josh)Today, the Klamath River is flowing freely for the first time in more than 100 years.
The dams have been removed. The ecosystems are being nurtured. And sovereignty has been restored to the Shasta Indian Nation over another 2800 acres. Good things are happening. Great things are possible. https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2024/aug/28/today-klamath-river-flowing-free-first-time-more-c/
As of Today, the Klamath River is Flowing Free for the First Time in More Than a Century
A banner day. More than 20 years after the Klamath Fish Kill -- or the most well known of the Klamath fish kills -- and after seemingly endless rounds of negotiations and politicking and lawsuits, the Klamath River today flows free.
Sini TuuliaI have just read this sentence: "Usually I pick up Starbucks for my morning coffee because it's closer than my local coffee shop and I don't have to put on real clothes to drive through it..."
And I'm just. Staring into the distance in European. You DRIVE to get COFFEE before putting on your CLOTHES? You can't be bothered to put on clothes because you haven't had your morning coffee but you will DRIVE to a fully another location that isn't YOUR FUCKING HOUSE to get it??? You will operate. The machinery! On the roads, that you share with other people! To drive to a location?? When you could just make it at home??
I try not to judge but, dear reader, I am fucking judging 😶
BarbChamberlainBy my friend Anna Zivarts, "Don’t Forget About Non-Drivers in Rural America". Aging population, housing prices, needs of nondrivers all come together in rural America.

I highly recommend Anna's book When Driving Is Not an Option https://islandpress.org/books/when-driving-not-option#desc.

Ryan PackerNEW: Until this week, when Spokane ditched minimum parking requirements in new developments citywide for all uses, no other major city in WA had made the move. What's holding back the rest of the state?

Spokane Just Ditched Parking Mandates. What’s Stopping the Rest of Washington? - The Urbanist
#Ryan Packer August 16, 2024 Cities across the country are ditching arbitrary requirements around how many parking spaces must be built with new housing, but Spokane is the first major Washington city to take the plunge. Will others follow?
Alan McConchieSo Tim Walz is a trained geographer and a former high school geography teacher?!
This is the biggest political news for the profession since Prince William got a masters degree in Geography.
Here's Gov Walz giving a talk at the ESRI GIS conference just last month!

He's totally locked up the pivotal mapmaker demographic.
