THE CHINESE ARE POLLUTING US 
MORALE 

 

WORLD POLLUTION MAP
model based on how the pollution travels around carried by streams.


So ... after three days spent on the internet did i get an answer ? Is the Swiss liter of milk clean and sustainable ? Clean is clean: pure like spring water in paradise. Being up there in the alps and being washed every day by valley winds Switzerland gets no pollution.

Is it sustainable ? does it give back the energy it take ? Is it worth ?
I miss the numbers to say but something I can say...

life expectancy reduction because of pollution


I am a paraglider pilot, I collect landscapes. Today is a fly day but I am lazy. After watching the others disappearing in the clouds I top land on a green grassy field lost somewhere at the footstep of the Himalayas. I lay in the sun being happy of doing nothing like a cat does in the sun. And than of course I start thinking. There's a mass of fog far down in the Haryana plane, some days is far some days it floods our valley and arrives to the sacred mountains. In that days unhappy pilots sit in the bar chatting about western air masses coming from the Mediterranean, unhappy gods, sfiga, or just bad weather. Others say is pollution. I was skeptical but one day I was sick and I started roaming the internet looking for maps.
People living at the footstep of the Himalayas have 4 years life expectancy reduction because of intense pollution carried from somewhere else, Nepal the same ! my beloved second home ! a country with no economy no industries, nothing, only farmers that live with 3 us per day and one cow for family if they are lucky.
Germany 0.1, France 0,1, USA 0.1, while Switzerland has 0 year reduction in life expectancy.  

From korchon top landing at sunset

 
At the end of the story what happens at sunset ? Me as usual I become nostalgic I take off and go for a beer at landing. The Swiss family tired but happy finally sits down around the table to have a big polenta and to enjoy the liter of milk they produced. The energy they burned produces a scary sunset framed by black and red clouds in Hebey, China. Xiao May young assembly chain employee in a Swiss owned tractor factory walks home asking herself if that cloud is a friendly dragon that will bless her child or not. Somebody In Congo start coughing. And just 100 km away from the Swiss border, in a small village near Milan in the foggy Italian Po valley la Signora Paola start having some trouble to read correctly.
She goes to doctor and doctor say “thyroid, we dunno exactly what is the problem but is becoming pandemic here since a few years” “we suppose is the pollution coming from china”

WAR !!! what can la Signora Giovanna do ? declare war to China of course

Morale

Next time, before starting blaming china have a look at your garage , what's inside ?
