A Quiet Place

“Noise pollution is an invisible threat: according to research by the World Health Organization, we have become adept at tuning out these background irritations, but the impacts of long-term exposure to environmental noise pollution are so severe that in Western Europe alone at least one million years of healthy life are lost every year from traffic-related noise.”

I live as quiet a life as I can, but the noise of the world is never far away, especially the noise of the appliances in our home. I'm glad to read that there are people trying to protect the quiet places.
