This post should be on the Bludit platform not WordPress.
I’m publishing it here because we’re still having problems with the Bludit site: cut, copy and paste only works copying and pasting within Bludit platform and some, but not all other sites, spell-checking has failed, inserting headings doesn’t work yet (so, I’m using bold as a temporary substitute). Images are problematical.
A full explanation of the Bludit problem is here

This Is The Post
As Lode says, not watching your health affects sleep, how you breathe, pollen levels in your nose, allowing ticks to bring infectious diseases. The Ozone Layer is decreasing to dangerous levels. Using fossil fuels kills. Though it must be said, in the current world economic crisis we’ve no real option but to use them. Regretably, UK politicians fail to see this.
As Westerners, we could eat healthier food, avoid the midday sun, keep hydrated, and wash cloths more regularly.
As Thais, we could keep our environment cleaner: no throwing trash wherever one feels like it, washing hands after going to the toilet, and burning rubbish and crops.
In the malls, I only see foreigners washing hands in the (male) restrooms. I can’t speak for the ladies’ rooms.
Do Lode’s followers have other ideas to share?
