While Americans and citizens of other great nations of the world watched on with anticipation, tree huggers and other eco-friendly groups unveiled the solution to a clean,
green environment. The solution is, pollution, smog, haze, soot, and other contaminants. This may come as a surprise to our readers;
however, it is indeed a fact. How does pollution create a clean, green environment? There are several reasons for this “clean” effect. The clean effect that smog has, has been dubbed, the “smog effect”. While investigating this subject, I contacted a leading authority on clouds and the water cycle. I asked her why clouds are so important, her answer was as follows,
“Clouds are important for many reasons. They can provide shade from the sun; another reason is they hold or store a lot of earths water and without these earth would be covered in water. Some other reasons are because they can absorb some of the sun’s heat, and they help cool off the planet when it rains.”
In many cities across America, in fact, across the world, clouds are few. Smog (e.g. pollution) can “substitute” for clouds, and perform many of clouds’ duties. For this reason, researchers dove into the “smog effect”with even more alacrity and vigor.
However, this reason is not the only reason. In order to understand the next reason more accurately, we must examine a picture of pollution
(e.g. smog). Here we see a picture of Los Angeles soaking in pollution. Notice the top part of the picture is very blue, indicating that the pollution makes the sky very blue. Whether this is because it taints the sky with a grey color, making the untainted sky appear to be more blue, or because it actually makes the sky more blue, I do not know, and honestly, it does not make a difference. You may be asking yourself, what does this have to do with the “smog effect”? In all actuality, it has a great deal to do with the “smog effect”. In order to better convey this point, I obtained an interview with both a leading physiologist and a leading psychologist. I inquired about the physiological and psychological effects of the color blue. The physiologist responded by saying,
“Blue proves to lower blood pressure. Blue can be linked to the throat and thyroid gland. Blue also has a very cooling and soothing affect, often making us calmer. Deep blue stimulates the pituitary gland, which then regulates our sleep patterns. This deeper blue also has proved to help the skeletal structure in keeping bone marrow healthy.”
He went on to say that blue has been proved to create a better, cleaner environment. The psychologist responded that,
“We usually associate the color blue with the night and thus we feel relaxed and calmed. Lighter blues make us feel quite and away from the rush of the day. These colors can be useful in eliminating insomnia. Blue inspires mental control, clarity and creativity.”
Mental control, clarity, and creativity all lead to a cleaner environment. It is amazing that all of these uplifting effects rise from one thing, smog (e.g. pollution). There are many more reasons that prove the “smog effect”; however, they are too advanced for this article.
More on the “smog effect” will be coming soon. And don’t worry too much,
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
