The Coast inn has air conditioning. That's a plus. Anywhere nicer than outside is a better place to talk about air pollution. Did I say talk? Talk. Talk. Talk. Do nothing but talk. The more the talk the fresher the air. If all this talk was done outside, the resulting carbon monoxide would need carbon credits. I bet they won't talk about polluting wood stoves and fireplaces wrecking our air this summer. They do you know.

When you breathe you produce Carbon DIoxide - NOT Carbon MONoxide. CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is what plants use during photosynthesis. CO (Carbon Monoxide) is a deadly poisonous gas.

I stand corrected. Grade 7 science class was a hundred years ago for me, it seems.
