    The safety angle is important to me because if that's the driver behind this grant, I feel it should be open to any playground accessible to more than two families. It shouldn't matter whether or not it's at a church/mosque, neighborhood, hospital, daycare, public school, nunnery, etc.

    Regarding recycled tire playgrounds, I think we should wait until this study is completed before assessing the safety. (Also, if this is a safety grant, it shouldn't be granted until that study is completed.)

      Yeah, I'm sure Trump's crack science teams are working day in and day out to put the teeth in "watchdog" agencies like the EPA. Because who would side with tire fire tycoons over the kids, right? Give me a fucking break. "Study" my ass.

      Forgive me if I seemed mad at you. It’s just that I’m not entirely sure we should be expecting either scrupulous science or courageous policy from the Trump Administration.
