“My nephew has asthma from the local smog.”
by Hinna Jafri, MVMT
This is an all too common testament in cities across America. According to(statistics needed) …How do we address this? What can we do? What can you, as one person, do?
We’ve heard too many statistics too many times. Cities across America have severely higher rates of asthma compared to national averages. These aren’t small numbers either. 10 times higher, 20 times higher… 50 times higher.
Take charge… with others.
The only way to stop the pollution in our communities and prevent the lungs of our young ones from being infiltrated by smog is to aggressively combat it.
Fight it…with more Green, with more trees, and more responsibility. Yes, cutting down local pollution rates needs to work hand-in-hand. But some of that is a bit out of total control. Reducing car omission rates (People need to drive, hybrid cars are expensive or not accessible to our communities.) is a lot more difficult than planting more trees and not littering but rather recycling. Lets do what we have the ability to do. That’s more restructuring of our communities and gaining better habits.
Right?
