  1. So you missed the bit where the air quality engineer took readings and reported a toxic mix of chemicals? And the bit where they removed the roof of their house?

  2. But that's the whole point. Because installing it is not a science, and conditions at every house are different, it's a lottery if yours will be done right.

  3. That dollar is your money. It has to be spent judiciously. It's horrible to pick and choose, but resources are not unlimited.

  4. You can't cycle around Australia in 12 weeks. If you can cycle 75 kilometres a day (which is probably twice what you could manage), it will take 480 days. This story isn't about how great you are. It's about one family's efforts to find a solution for their child. Maybe they cycled in really small circles, or visited the same places lots of times, or went really slowly and stopped for ice cream every mile! And you don't even know WHICH country Qiuyuan was referring to: maybe it was China!

  5. What a complete load of crap. So you don't know IF plastics have any effect on us, nor at what concentration or grain size, and half the products you tested had NO conatmination, and the other half had so little as to be insignificant or even down to sample contamination. This was just a complete bunch of alarmist BS. You could have cut out all the water testing, and just said "plastic in the ocean is poisoning the fish - please don't throw as much away" and it would have had more impact.

  6. A billion years - so soon? I think we have greater concerns.
