Smoke from wildfires in the Canadian prairies drifts all the way to Switzerland, ruining a listener's hike—and James feels personally responsible.

The Clean Energy Air Quality Project continues with a new discovery—our local landfill is a serious pollution source. James calls it a "foul, disgusting place," and the data seems to back him up.
