21st Century Pioneering Woman Leaves Smoggy Los Angeles To Find Clean...

Join the adventure blog www.chasingcleanair.com to follow Donna Barnett, as she leaves smoggy Los Angeles to find clean air and a better place to live. See the pictures. Experience new places. Share your thoughts.



Ms. Barnett begins her journey in the Pacific Northwest, and will continue into Western States, researched for clean air and a compatible lifestyle.



Beyond smog and traffic, green meadows and wildflowers exist, where breathing is easy, and working and socializing remain vibrant.



The American Lung Association of California says, 's8220;When you can's8217;t breathe, nothing else matters.'s8221;



As a result of living in Los Angeles for seventeen years, Ms. Barnett developed periodic bronchitis, sinusitis, and was told that she may have mild asthma.



According to Ms. Barnett, I saw black soot growing on my windowsill, and black smog covering the city when I hiked, and I thought about my persistent cough during smoggy summers, and realized it was time to explore alternative places to live.



In addition to sharing Ms. Barnett'ss personal thoughts, photos, and research, www.chasingcleanair.com provides clean air/dirty air resources, including interviews with clean air experts, links to sites that educate on air and lung health, action suggestions on what you can do, and a list of top industrial polluters in areas, such as Los Angeles.

According to Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes Magazine and author of Life 2.0: How People Across America Are Transforming Their Lives By Finding The Where Of Their Happiness, Ms. Barnett is part of a growing trend.



People and businesses are moving away from sprawling cities like Los Angeles to find a better quality of life. This trend can only be positive, especially for those remaining in Los Angeles, where palm trees sway, ocean waters swirl, and cars jam the 405 Freeway.



While Ms. Barnett'ss motivation is to find clean air, she, like many city-dwellers, would prefer less people and cars. I'sm frequently gridlocked at home due to clogged roads, and when I do drive in traffic, it'ss difficult to arrive with a smile. I believe my quality of life will improve when I live in a cleaner and less populated area.



Cozy up to your computer, let your fingers type: www.chasingcleanair.com, and breathe into the alternatives.
