Does Wildfire Smoke Worry You?

I have tips for you, plus, having air monitors helps me feel calmer, so here’s how they help us, in an independent, honest, review…

A tree with sunshine shining brightly through its leafy branches, with blue sky behind. Chosen because the author donates to plant trees for every poem written and shared publicly. One reason being that trees clean air we breathe, and air knows no borders on this planet we share. All benefit. Wildfire smoke pollutes the air, so, knowing the air quality with IQ Air Indoor and Outdoor Air Monitors is helpful practically and reduces eco-anxiety. Nature tree photography by the author, Emma Rose.

Why Bother Trying to Be Perfect?

Caption reads: As these leaves unfurl they appear uneven — yet there’s still beauty present — just look at those vibrant colours! Photo is by the Author, Emma Rose Purposeful Poetry
