    With all the fires- especially the Rim Fire, burning in California, we have lots of smoke we could send you. Not quite the same as smog, but it will do in a pinch. :lol:

    Seriously, though, I'm very envious. I remember a world with much less smog.

    I think it was a combination of luck and lot less manufacturing than we used to have.

    A large portion of the smog in southern Ontario comes from coal plans and manufacturing across the border in the Ohio Valley. I imagine that if things have slowed down in that area it would be a big contributor.

    seems manufacturing has slowed down just about everywhere (except china, heheheeh) ... I'm sure their coal plants are still going strong, probably 2 many jobs at risk to tamper with them.
