Some interesting data from a person selling indoor air filters:
Here’s a wild fact. The air inside your home is 3-5 times more polluted than the air outside. And in some cases it can be up to 100 times more polluted… Crazy right?!
Outdoor air pollution from automobiles, factories, or wildfires is an obvious threat in some areas, but indoor air pollution is a seriously underestimated problem no matter where you live, because we spend most of our time indoors.
Clean air is essential for health and to help prevent respiratory illness, pulmonary problems, certain types of cancer, and to reduce the toxic load on your body.
When the much-loved naturalist Sir David Attenborough turned to social media this week to point the complimentary finger at Australia’s architect Koichi Takada, it was all for good reason.
The Japanese-born and Sydney-based architect is set to create the world’s greenest building; and didn’t expect the announcement to set his own social media alight with praise.
Koichi Takada Architects will construct a 30-storey apartment building in Brisbane for their client Aria Property Group, with works to commence at the end of 2021.
One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.
This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.
Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!
Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.
Bridger Walker is the 6-year-old boy who shielded his younger sister from an attacking German Shepherd. He received over 90 stitches over his body, but saved his three-year-old sister from certain death. ” If anyone should die, it’s me, because I’m her brother, and that’s my job”

Government officials in Sweden announced this week that the government expects to maintain its mild restrictions on gatherings “for at least another year” to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Unlike most other European countries and nations around the world, Sweden declined to initiate a nationwide lockdown or mask mandates, opting instead for a policy that restricted large gatherings and relied on social responsibility to slow transmission of the virus.
For months, Sweden was criticized for its decision to forego an economic lockdown.
“Sweden becomes an example of how not to handle COVID-19,” CBS declared in its headline in a July article.
Sweden had become a “cautionary tale,” the New York Times declared the same month.
“They are leading us to catastrophe,” The Guardian warned in March.
Dozens of similar examples can be found. With every passing week, however, it’s becoming more clear that Sweden got the virus right. For starters, Swedish officials point out that even if lockdowns did save lives, they cannot long be endured.
“The measures that are being taken in Europe are not sustainable, we’re trying to find a level that is steady and that keeps the spread down. We can’t get rid of it, but we can keep it down at a reasonable level,” Johan Carlson, the director general of Sweden’s public health agency, said in an interview with public broadcaster SVT on Sunday.
It’s also worth pointing out that Sweden has avoided some of the economic carnage of its European neighbours experienced by implementing harsh lockdowns. In August, the BBC pointed out that Sweden’s economy experienced much less damage during the pandemic.
Both of these facts help explain why Sweden has not witnessed the widespread social unrest other nations have seen.
“A certain fatigue is setting in, this has been going on for a number of months,” Carlson admitted. “But we are not seeing anger or aggression, we’re not seeing the same reactions as in Europe.”
This should come as no surprise. Life in Sweden is still relatively normal. People never stopped going to restaurants and bars, pools or parks. Schools and places of business remained open. Hence, the mass protests, violence, and spikes of mental health deterioration, drug overddoses, and suicide nations around the world have witnessed in 2020 have been notably absent in Sweden.
Perhaps most importantly, Sweden’s “lighter touch” seems to have tamed COVID-19. While many European countries that implemented lockdowns are witnessing a resurgence of the virus, Sweden’s cases and deaths remain a stark contrast to other European nations.
