Hm, more pollutant than the ads themselves (neon, pinboards etc) are those wearing/carrying/using these advertised products.



You too eh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> That drives me nuts! It's getting quite difficult to find reasonable clothes here these days without turning yourself into a free walking advertisement. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

As for the towns... hmm ... I'd love to dream up a giant eraser or white-out pen and sneak down at night and remove it all. But alas, it's just a dream. Perhaps you could put me on the mailing list for your "reverse brain-wash-device"? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But, yes, closing the door to my private kingdom is my answer. We have a couple of hectares of bushland with many trees (yet we still have lovely views down a thickly wooded valley). There are other houses around but the trees and the hilly slopes hide the ones near us. At night it's easy to imagine that the orc armies are camped in the valley below... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

And we share the block with hundreds of local birds and animals. We can't change the world, but we can keep our little bit of it the way we like it - for the time being anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
