@Shanmonster

Thank you, Shantell!

You and I are some of the few people who are sensitive to these things, it appears.

The Environmental Protection Agency needs to step in and regulate sound, light, and air pollution in a big way.

Let's keep bringing up this issue, and communicating the main points to get people to feel this concern and join in.

Dangerous Low Flying Jets Target More #Tohono #Oodham, #Apache and #Yaqui Communities

via #CensoredNews, Oct 5, 2024

Wild Earth Guardians:

"The Threat: The U.S. Air Force is proposing low-level fighter jet maneuvers and supersonic flights over White Mountains, Organ Pipe Cactus National Park, and more. It will affect the Tohono O’odham Nation, #WhiteMountain and #SanCarlosApache Nations, and #PascuaYaqui Tribe.

Wilderness and Sacred Places at Risk

The Wilderness areas at risk include the Gila and Blue Range Wildernesses in New Mexico, plus the following Wildernesses in Arizona: Superstition, Salt River Canyon, White Canyon, Needles Eye, Aravaipa Canyon, Galiuro, Santa Teresa, Fishhooks, Bear Wallow, Escudilla, Mount Baldy, Chiracahua, Arrastra Mountains, Tres Alamos, Rawhide Mountains, Harcuvar Mountains, Swansea, East Cactus Plain, Harquahala Mountains, Aubrey Peak, Upper Burro Creek, Hummingbird Springs, Organ Pipe Cactus, Cabeza Prieta, Coyote Mountains, Big Horn Mountains, Baboquivari Peak, and Pajarita Wildernesses. In addition to these 30 designated Wildernesses, this proposal also threatens the Blue Range Primitive Area as well as many Wilderness Study Areas.

Eighteen of these Wildernesses were designated by the 1990 Arizona Desert Wilderness Act, which unfortunately contained a bad special provision that allows military overflights. But that doesn’t mean the proposed action won’t damage those Wildernesses, nor does that 1990 law give the Air Force a free pass to damage the other Wildernesses.

"The Air Force wants to make changes to 10 #MilitaryOperationAreas (#MOAs) to enhance its airspace training capabilities. Specifically, the Air Force wants to lower the altitudes of existing MOAs to support low-altitude training (in some cases, as low as 500 feet above the ground, and in one case, The U.S. Air Force has released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that proposes a massive increase in low-level jet training flights in more than 1.2 million acres of designated Wilderness in Arizona and New Mexico. Such activity would shatter the area’s natural sounds, ruin the wilderness experience for visitors, and stress native wildlife.

"Your help is needed by October 9 to tell the Air Force to keep low-altitude jets, sonic booms, and supersonic flights out of these Wildernesses (link below).

"The Air Force also wants to authorize supersonic training at lower altitudes in more MOAs, lower the minimum release altitude for flares, and authorize use of chaff bundles containing up to 5 million #aluminum-coated silica fibers, which are used to obscure radar, and are designed to stay airborne as long as possible before they settle to the ground."

My area is saturated 24/7 w noise of racing motorcycles, cars modified to be noisier - local, state gov't will do nothing. Can #noisecameras #reduce ‘potentially fatal’ #soundpollution? Every1 knows NYC is loud & politicians have waged long losing war against noise. Now they have new weapon: noise cameras. Cameras which are paired with a #soundmeter to detect noise of at least 85 #decibels from source 50ft. #heathcare #pedestrians #environment #airpollution #streetracing https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/04/new-york-noise-cameras

Was in a grocery store recently and noticed myself feeling far more calm and relaxed than usually associated with shopping in said store.

Then they turned the music back on.

Reminded of this today when in a Target where the music was off. Staff were joking and teasing their manager about the sound system not working. ("Oh, no music! This is my jam!")

There was a steady hum from the speakers that would normally be pumping out pop tunes. The hum was, frankly, preferable.

#SoundPollution #noise

Going to petition the city transportation dept to try and curb dangerous speeding near residential areas. Any advice on what methods would work?

Ideally speeding cameras, but without automated enforcement which my city doesn't seem to do that is probably toothless. Speed bumps near intersections?
