Quotes

"I love all your articles on the San Juan Islands! I have been meaning to send you kudos! Thanks again for coming to see us and for writing such inspiring articles.  I’ve really enjoyed making your website a part of my routine."

Robin Jacobson, Public Relations Manager, San Juan Islands Visitor Bureau

"What a great site--and astute comments. Pollution is a bigger problem than most people know. I've lived in Santa Barbara for 40 years. People are afraid to admit how bad the air has become in SB because they love it here--but reality is, my allergies and asthma are out of control here and I'm planning to move north!"

Kat from Santa Barbara, California

"My compliments on a superb and extremely helpful web site. To the best of my knowledge it's only one of its kind that provides so much detailed information in one place for the clean-air conscious traveler. As a business editor for a Florida daily newspaper, I know quality of life, and particularly air quality, are critical factors for many high-tech companies when they are scouting for locations to expand, or start a new enterprise. Your site, and links, provide an outstanding portal into this expanding field of clean air consciousness. Keep up the excellent work!"

Carlton Proctor, Business Reporter, Pensacola News Journal; A Gannett Newspaper

"I came across your blog and found your site to be a very interesting read. Thanks for what you do to bring clean, healthy air issues to light."
 

Jim Cundiff, Program Director, Central Area American Lung Association of Florida

"Keep up the great work, Donna. There's nobody like you out there in the smogosphere, and you bring a very human and grounded perspective to a long-running dilemma of Los Angeles: do we love our lifestyles more than the public health it endangers. As a Smogtown co-author and local writer, your blog is indispensable! Breathe well!"

Chip Jacobs, Co-Author of award-winning book Smogtown

"As a member of the wellness community, I find that Donna Barnett's Chasing Clean Air is an imperative resource for my well-being and the many clients I see. Personally, the blog educated me that I live within 2 miles of the worst nuclear accident in America, which has not been cleaned up! Donna helps protect my family by offering cleaner air and area suggestions. This is huge when I consider where to move next."

Arna Vodenos, Founder of Healing Destinations

"Wonderful review ... it makes me want to experience Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge myself ... and Maligne Lake ... and Chris and ... all things Canadian. Sure glad I found your blog!

Doug Grandt, Al Gore Climate Change Presenter

"Wow you’re fun to read! I was just forwarding your website to a friend and so had occasion once again to get wrapped up in your world. You are an inspiration. Yes I’m still reading and it just struck me how much like Kurt Vonnegut your writing, style, wit… but I’m probably not the first to mention that. Breakfast of Champions. Are you familiar with it? Maybe more like Vonnegut (serious bits) meets Bridget Jones."

Deb from Victoria, B.C.

"So glad you're scouting clean air and promoting a better environment for us all. I'm in the market for a hybrid, and assumed a Prius was the way to go, but now I'm going to hold off and wait until I see what you have to say about the Malibu. Keep up the good work!"

Kenny Reff

"Your site is outstanding and very informative! I live here in LA and have been hoping to one day find an area with cleaner air. In particular, I had been looking at Bellingham and enjoyed reading of your experiences there! Your writing style is excellent and a real pleasure to read! Of the many sites out there, a truly useful site! Looking forward to reading about your next journey towards finding a clean air location!"

"First of all, I absolutely love your pictures. What camera do you use? I love hybrids, and have convinced my husband ("I am never going to buy a new car" kind of guy), that we are going to buy a new car soon, and that it has to be an hybrid! I am going to let him read your blog, to show him how his wallet will appreciate it too! Thanks for the inspiration!"

Peace, Claudia

"Your book reviews are very insightful and readable. I thoroughly enjoy them and get valuable encapsulation. Keep up the great work. I am pointing my friends and associates to your blog under the heading of "Hopeful Blogs" and so far yours are the best I have found."
