Democracy for New Mexico
This is a guest blog by Steve Klinger, a long-time journalist and editor of the Grassroots Press, on the recent launch of a new, independent print and online newspaper called The Light of New Mexico. Steve will be editing the paper, which will initially be published monthly. The first print issue of The Light of New Mexico hit the streets of Santa Fe on September 15, with a cover story on "The Politics of H2O: Who Controls Your Water?" It's also available for download as a pdf by clicking here.
The newspaper, published by Skip Whitson, will focus on "Illuminating Inconvenient Truths," and will be covering "Conscious Culture, including Politics, Reviews, Books and Entertainment." The Light of New Mexico is designed to serve as a progressive, alternative source of ideas, information and a networking nexus for north-central New Mexico and beyond, providing a newspaper, a blog and a community resource.

There are new international air quality data bases on the web. You can download them
here. (Go to "Urban outdoor air pollution database, by country and city," top right, for two separate tables of comparisons.)
Little surprise that cities in newly-industrialized India, for example, or less-developed countrues with inefficient vehicle exhaust systems and smokestacks have less healthy air.
Let's just say
we're way better on
an air quality scale than Ulan Bator, far better than Paris, somewhat better than Pittsburgh and Houston, but we don't do as well as other US cities with industry such as Philadelphia, Albuquerque, Dallas, Denver, or New Orleans, for example.
And yes, I know some of our pollution comes from Chicago, where the air is dirtier than ours, but let's own our situation.
So - - room for improvement.
