Re:  Alert by Diane Swartz Jan. 3rd about not burning firewood in fireplaces because of high particulate matter in the air on Friday, Jan 3rd and Sat. Jan. 4th.

Let's ask why there was an inordinate amount of particulates in the air that are hazardous to our health.

Let us look up and see the jet trails above which covered our skies for five days with heavy spraying of who-knows-what.  Let's observe the "cloud cover" they created.  Nasty, dirty air.

We allow this.  Perhaps we might question the AQMD as to the source of the heavy particulates in the air.

Maybe we should start calling the media on their lack of explanations.

Why would we, as a people worldwide, allow massive aerosol spraying in the skies above us without questioning?

I would like to see blue skies, clear air again, and no jets, commercial or military, spraying the skies with massive amounts of unknown substances above me - for me and everyone else to breathe into our lungs.
