The Australian Wildfires of 2020 were a wakeup call to me for both how important this is to happy living and how shared our atmosphere is.

I spent that entire period watching windy.com particulate maps and forcasts trying to time when I rode into work, for weeks on end it wasn't smart to do so, and those fires were in another state to me entirely, thousands of KM away.

I feek for those who live in countries where polution is nearly as bad year round as those fires were during their peak.
