Noise pollution! 🔕

When I was out at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center earlier today I was noticing how truly much noise pollution there was. There was the usual bird chirping, the squirrels rustling in the woods but also…

  • Sound of the train whistle at Game Farm Road 🚂
  • The rumble of the passing train 🚉
  • Car tire rumble 🚙
  • The sirens of a police car 🚨
  • The growl of a distant car engine 🚘
  • The roar of an airplane overhead ✈

The noise never stops and it out competes nature in our fossil fuel world.
