I had a few weeks set aside in May to record and wrap up some final podcasts for the season, but COVID 19 had other plans. I instead became the head counselor at “Camp COVID” for my three rambunctious children who rapidly bounced back from their infections with no respect for the time their mother might need to finally taste her coffee again.
Enjoy the end of the season thoughts, and will see you next Fall with more Air Health Our Health!
To Do over the Summer:
- Catch up on any podcasts you missed from the first two seasons.
- Get involved in advocacy at your local, state and federal level to be a voice for clean air, whether working now to get your county or state to consider a flavored nicotine ban in the next legislative session or encouraging a transition away from combustion engines for transportation or from combustion in your own home.
- Please also consider a donation to the many organizations working hard for clean air!
- Neighbors for Clean Air– Ashia Allen from “Ashia, Albina & Asthma” is now on the board!
- American Thoracic Society- I am a member of the Environmental Health Policy Committee, and we work hard to convey the importance of the science of healthy air to our state and federal government, the EPA, Supreme Court, and more
- Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids– keep working to protect kids from Big Tobacco
- Look through previous podcast notes for more donation ideas!
- Join the Air Health Our Health Fight for Air Climb team- climb is on June 26th, though we will be “climbing” virtually, so you can join from anywhere in the world! Take steps on your own time and raise money for the American Lung Association!
