On an somewhat more encouraging note, emissions control in Charlotte has
managed to reduce ozone pollution alert days from an average of fifty a year
to just six this year.
And we can now see clouds all the way to the horizon.
So something is working (maybe).

And what you have just stated (albeit entirely unwittingly,
of course), is the basis of the rubric:

"Think Globally, Act Locally."

Now what we Progressives are trying to do is get Local
Action to happen on a Global Scale, so that *everyone*,
even the generations which follow ours, can have clean
skies, and know what a living Elephant looks like and
how freshly caught Fish tastes.


Making Progress,

The Phantom Piper

Isn't the North of Scotland the natural habitat of Clan Fraser?
Where else then would he be?
Shirley you are not suggesting he immigrated to *ngland???
