Peter, Curtis, David and all...
I am also too old and cynical to (spontaneously) believe in such an idea.
Still, I will certainly support it and do what I can to participate
in whatever that might help.
And we can all do things at a local level.
We need another way of thinking and measuring noise. For example, I
find it natural to think that wind power plants should be built near
highways and other places which are noise polluted anyway, while most
other people think that they should be built at places where there
are so few people as possible, which means "silent" areas.
E.t.c.
I don't know of many other ways to draw attention to noise pollution,
than people like us starting acting. Looking at the green movement,
such actions are possible, but takes a long time.
Klas.
