Los Angeles County, California, will no longer be subjected to air quality regulations limiting the number of cremations that may be performed there. Business Insider reports the South Coast Air Quality Management District said the regulation was lifted so officials could handle a 'backlog' of bodies. Business Insider reports the move comes as a grim reminder of the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in California. The regulation has been lifted for 10 days, with the option to be extended. As of January 15, there were more than 2,700 bodies being stored at hospitals in LA County and at the Coroner's office. The current rate of death is more than double that of pre-pandemic years, leading to hospitals, funeral homes, and crematoriums exceeding capacity. South Coast Air Quality Management District

It came from an idea to find a solution that was not only eco-friendly but also social, a way of using garbage to give hope to people,""The possibilities with this material are endless, our only limit is creativity"NÉSTOR CATALÁN:"To transform it into something useful, something that can be in our lives on a material level, such as furniture, construction, it is something we are trying. We are transforming garbage, which is a problem, to something that we want, that we need, something that is useful for our homes, for our businesses""What we want is to stop complaining about the problems there are and to act. It's time to take action, to look for solutions rather than blaming others or the world or society. We are the society and it is our responsibility to look for solutions to the problems that we create. We create that garbage, that garbage did not exist years ago. It is garbage that has become natural, but isn't, we created it, and we have the capacity to come up with a solution."
