[speaker001:] uh-huh okay I pushed it
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] so what do you think um we can do to uh prevent air pollution
[speaker002:] well um I worry about incineration you know I worry that we're we're doing way too much of that although I'm not sure the one thing that I have trouble with is wood smoke whether how whether that's a very serious one or not um you know uh with
[speaker001:] yeah well you know what I was talking to my brother in Denver and he told me that they have restrictions on when they can burn their fireplace
[speaker002:] well that's what I've heard it kills me because I love fires and I and I really really care about pollution and I don't use anything that's got the the the stuff stuff the
[speaker001:] yeah I couldn't believe
[speaker002:] stuff in it you know the spray bottles and I uh try to do everything I can but that's the one thing that I think is
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] very difficult is is uh wood fires because it seems to me that they were natural
[speaker001:] yeah I can't understand
[speaker002:] that's a that's a natural process and unlike unlike you know all of the rest of it but
[speaker001:] yeah I just couldn't figure out how could they could restrict uh you know like a fireplace because a lot of places that's all that all the heat they have in their home
[speaker002:] that that that's what they have yeah but um I you know I I am really concerned about it because you can you're beginning to well you're beginning to see the air
[speaker001:] you know well I know yeah isn't that terrible
[speaker002:] and and that's frightening and I know in California uh a whole lot is being done I don't know how well that's working and if all those things all those laws went through about about the for the car manufacturers and everything and has that do you know
[speaker001:] well I don't know all I know is that we have to have our car our car smogged every two years you know and um
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh but I think what they're gonna do is try to get the try to get the car manufacturers to make cars that you know use gasoline more more uh better and and more cleanly or use cleaner fuel
[speaker001:] um-hum well you think that they would be able to do that you know I think they could too you know they just they don't wanna they wanna use uh
[speaker002:] I think they can do that I I think
[speaker001:] you know something that's gonna burn all this gas where we can buy more gas you know
[speaker002:] yes I think that's right I think that's right but it's scary what it's doing to to stone buildings
[speaker001:] um um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] you know the the acid rain I mean destroying things trees are dying lot of forests are are dying of these uh in Canada and in in uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] I don't know about I don't know about in California
[speaker001:] well I don't know about that either but uh I know I took a ride down Southern California just recently and it was just amazing to look you know like being up higher and looking down and seeing all this crud you know it oh it's terrible
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum yeah well and and I had not experienced it as much my son went to Pomona and he went the school starts in the fall and that is the notorious smog season so when he first went out there about five you know five
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh a long time ago four or five years ago but anyway he he called and just said mother now I know what they're talking about I mean this stuff you really feel you can't breathe
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah yeah it it it does it burns your eyes and everything but a lot of these trucks that's on the road now to I think they could do something to those because some of those trucks just smoke like heck you know
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but it doesn't seem like no one ever does anything about that
[speaker002:] no I know and and as far as what I you know I do things about almost everything else but as far as the air is concerned I am trying to buy a new car but there are no cars available with clean fuel
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] so I can't do that um I just
[speaker001:] no the electric cars I think that was a good idea I would really go for that
[speaker002:] yeah yeah uh yeah I would too but that and it it's not affordable and it's not out there
[speaker001:] yeah right right
[speaker002:] and then I have stopped using anything but pump sprays so that I'm trying to get I'm trying not to use that whatever that's called chlorofluorocarbons some kind of anyway that's that's hurting the ozone uh level I'm trying not to do that
[speaker001:] I um-hum um-hum um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] the bad thing I do is wood fires
[speaker001:] yeah well uh we have a fireplace here to I don't burn it every night usually I just have mine on the weekends or when I have company that we're gonna be in the house all day
[speaker002:] oh no no no I didn't either yes
[speaker001:] you know and it's just nice to sit in the living room with a fireplace going but um other than that I don't use mine
[speaker002:] yeah yeah but no and I I'm not sure I'm not sure that this is something that air pollution is something individuals can work on as much as they can on some of the other ones uh like recycling or even water you know water use or saving water and that's what's scary to me
[speaker001:] yeah right right right yeah I know I think it's gonna have to be these large companies and uh-huh
[speaker002:] large companies that's right industry and the car manufacturers
[speaker001:] right right right right so
[speaker002:] and uh that we have less control I guess it depends on who we vote for and how we write you know write letters to them
