time pollution

Based on the idea that pollution is "degrading the quality of a common resource", time pollution happens when someone wastes everyone's time, say in a meeting, by talking about something that is useless, uninteresting, irrelevant or purely rhetorical.

"Hey, how did the planning meeting go?" "Oh, you know Bob doesn't know anything. He just created a lot of time pollution. Everyone was just yawning and waiting for it to finish."

Examples include: airline travel, use of internal combustion engines, two-stroke boat motors, snowmobiles, ATV’s, recreational space travel, fireworks, light, loud music, etc. Limits to this variety of pollution, is regulated in some regions for the preservation of natural habitats and also can be determined and set by individuals with regard to their conscious awareness of the negative impacts caused from such activities.

Humans with disposable income have a greater capacity of contributing to recreational pollution.
