As a result, we might be eating more, sleeping less and gaining more weight, partly as a result of the air we breathe. Steadily rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be affecting brain chemistry, increasing appetite and contributing to the obesity epidemic. So we should support Air clean societies and organization. PALS is a ‘Pure Air Lovers Society’ working for preventing air pollution. For more detail visit: www.pals.in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
