Parks and Pollution: A Comedy of Dirty Air

In a plot twist nobody saw coming, our beloved national parks are choking on their own irony – and it's not just from the campfire smoke. Picture this: a forest restoration project cut short because the air was thicker than park rangers' beards. Talk about a breath-taking experience!

With a whopping 97% of key park sites suffering from pollution, it’s a wonder we can see the trees for the smog. And guess what? California takes the cake with the top four most polluted parks. Move over, Hollywood – the real stars of pollution are here!

But fear not, nature lovers! There’s hope on the horizon. By supporting eco-friendly policies and giving pollution the boot, we can turn this smoggy saga into a comedy of fresh-air errors.

So, as you plan your next park escapade, don’t forget to check the air quality forecast. And if the pollution threatens to spoil your adventure, just laugh it off – because where else can you get nature and irony in the same breath?

Remember, every cloud – even the smoggy ones – has a silver lining. And in this case, it's a wake-up call to protect our parks, breathe easier, and maybe invest in some eco-friendly air filters for those scenic selfies. After all, nothing says “I love nature” like filtering out pollution while enjoying the great outdoors!
