Pixel's Beg for Rain 👐	1 week ago In response to this post Wildfires are exacerbated as a result of climate change and mandates that prevent cultural burning. Fire is good and necessary when done with intention and understanding of the ecosystem. For example (not a blanket statement), fire may be needed to break down debris in forests. When this isn't done regularly, the build up can cause a massive fire to develop that wouldn't happen if it were kept in check. We also need to consider what kind of plants and fungi are able to grow or not when triggered by fires, from the under or overstory. Fire can make a huge impact on the overall canopy. To learn more about "Good Fire" check out this podcast which covers fire burning practices from many different places. https://yourforestpodcast.com/good-fire-podcast There are much fewer regulations for indoor air quality than outdoor air quality. Americans spend nearly 90% of their lives indoors. Poor air quality can have several long term health impacts including skin conditions or childhood asthma. These issues disproportionately impact low-income people of color.

Pixel's Beg for Rain 👐	1 week ago In response to this post If you're also considering a filter, a CR box is a great DIY option that has been proven to be just has effective or better than some of the fancy $400 ones. https://cleanaircrew.org/ufaq/does-the-corsi-rosenthal-box-work/ For outdoors, there are a variety of open data maps you can use from local air quality monitors regarding fires and quality. https://www.airgradient.com/map/ https://map.purpleair.com/ https://fire.airnow.gov/#6/41/-98 Always check local ordinances around whether you can start a fire before burning anything on your property or when camping and hiking. Some grounds may require that you keep a fire extinguisher on you. Make sure you are familiar with how to report a fire and have a plan to evacuate during no burn periods. #LAFires #AirQuality #AirGradient #CleanAir #Wildfires Wildfires are exacerbated as a result of climate change and mandates that prevent cultural burning.

Pixel's Beg for Rain 👐	1 week ago For folx considering air quality monitors following the LA fires. A few months ago I purchased an Air Gradient One for indoors due to fires near my hometown. You can use the code "SABP13ET" for 10% off (SmartHomeJunkie). It's open source, homekit compatible, and hackable, but also works well out of the box. You can view historical data from web view on your phone or laptop. Having a monitor allowed me to determine if an air filter was necessary from the fires and on the day to day reminds me to air out the room from CO2 build up or from running my stove, even when out of the house. The discounted DIY model was as easy to build as three pieces of legos and a few screws. https://www.airgradient.com/indoor/ Other monitors I considered from reviews on reddit where the HotKrem 5-in-1 and TemTop M2000c on the more affordable end. I also considered mainstream competitors like Air Things, Purple Air, and Govee. I decided that the price was not worth the performance, though there are plenty of people who are satisfied with their purchase. https://www.airgradient.com/blog/airgradient-vs-purple-air/#:~:text=Comparison%20Table%20by%20Model You can find several more reviews of different air quality monitors to see if there are models that best suit your needs here: https://breathesafeair.com/amazon-smart-air-quality-monitor-review/ #LAFires #AirQuality #AirGradient #CleanAir #Wildfires If you're also considering a filter, a CR box is a great DIY option that has been proven to be just has effective or better than some of the fancy $400 ones. https://cleanaircrew.org/ufaq/does-the-corsi-rosenthal-box-work/ For outdoors, there are a variety of open data maps you can use from local air quality monitors regarding fires and quality. https://www.airgradient.com/map/ https://map.purpleair.com/ https://fire.airnow.gov/#6/41/-98 Always check local ordinances around whether you can start a fire before burning anything on your property or when camping and hiking.
