I live in the Pacific Northwest, 4 miles from a town of 1200, surrounded by forest and mountains. Believe me, the air is clean here. About 30 or 40 miles from the coast, where the air comes from.
I hope you're right, both Antartica [sp] and the North pole are polluted, and thats as far from the maddening crowd as you can get.
I haven't followed Denmark that closely, but there seems to have been a seachange in the last 3-4 years. It has now become the countries that European liberals love to hate. They gotta be doing something right :-) Cheers.
Right on all counts, Denmark has changed in the last few years, And they no longer worry about political correctness. Denmark has said enough is enough.
