BendiNewsTest: Governor Asks Chileans to Stop World Cup Barbecuing Due to Air Pollution Problems

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Governor Asks Chileans to Stop World Cup Barbecuing Due to Air Pollution Problems

World Cup fever is in the air, but nowhere is it more prevalent than Santiago, Chile – where it’s literally polluting the skies. The governor of Santiago recently put a call out to citizens not to light their barbecues during World Cup soccer games because all the smoke from grilling is worsening air conditions in the capital city. Reuters reports that pollution levels in Santiago reached a five-year high last weekend, after Chile played its first match against Australia in neighboring Brazil, which is hosting the tournament this year.
