DIY Filter for the upcoming fire season
dynomight.net The Cuboid: A DIY air purifier that’s better than a box-fanDesigns for a quieter, more energy efficient purifier, and data proving it really works.
I came across this blog post -- considering that fire season is coming up (or already started in some places) and the PNW's track record, figured some folks may find this useful.
This is a pretty cheap air filter that is easy to construct with minimal tools and works better than putting filters onto a box fan.

Hello fellow PNWers!
Hi all, figured I would get this community started in the hopes others would be interested in joining.
Where are you from? What do you love about Oregon, Washington, BC?
I am Olympia-based now but have also lived in Seattle and Spokane. I so appreciate the laid-back culture and the closeness to nature even within urban environments here in Western Washington.
