Learning about "Spare the Air" days was very interesting when we learned about that on the first day of class. Specifically, learning about those days when it's cold is even more interesting because somehow, it is more self-explanatory when its hot. I remember around the time when we used those days in January, because that was around my birthday. I just remember being out and about and it was EXTREMELY cold that night! I felt like it was just degrees from my car and everything in it icing over.
Then I remember learning hearing about how we should not use our fire places but never knowing why, other than that carbon monoxide can get in the house.
But then in class, I learned that when the air is cold and stands still, meaning no wind, the air stays in one spot. All the exhaust from cars and other sources can cause more pollution and I found that very interesting and it made a lot of sense.
I since I am really into the environment and want to conserve as much as I can, this is good for me to know as winter approaches.
