One more reason to save the planet

Here is another reason to save the planet - your health. Did you know that increase in temperatures and global warming could lead to increased levels of pollen? This is bad news for those with asthma - like myself. Increased temperatures could also lead to dehydration and consequently conditions such as kidney stones could develop. This sounds crazy - but it's true! Look at p.60 of TIME (Nov 1) for more info.

Thanks for reading!

The extremes in temperatures (too hot summer and too cold winter) is enough to upset the immune system in most of us too. I hear Austin has a particularly high level of pollens so this is bad news for us!
