Green Quote: I can, You can, We can #BeatingAirPollution.
#GreenQuote of the Week
I can, You can, We can #BeatingAirPollution.
This year’s World Environment Day will be commemorated on the 5th of June 2019 and theme is #BeatAirPollution.
Air Pollution is a big problem and if you want to know how big the problem is, ask the children in Beijing who wear masks to school or learn more about air pollution on the World Environment Day web.
Our future will be doomed if we continue to let the quality of air get worst but we still have a chance; We can #BeatAirPollution
Some simple things you can do to improve the quality of air in your community include;
- Tree planting
- Community Clean-up campaigns
- Walking or cycling
- Educating people about air pollution
- Switching to Solar Energy
- Buying locally produced stuff, etc
Together, we can beat air pollution and guarantee a safe future for us and our future generations.

Air pollution is no joke. My state in the US is apparently the 8th worst, and recently we had a few days where we were 3x worse than Beijing. The stereotype is always how bad China's air pollution is, so I hope that woke some people up around here to start caring about it. The problem is 1/3 or so of the air pollution here is from oil and gas extraction. We've tried passing laws to at least say, you can't do that too close to homes, schools, and hospitals for health, but oil and gas companies win with propaganda and bribes every time. >:(

Its always sad to know that people put profit over people and its very important that we keep advocating and taking action to make a change. We believe someday, change will come. For now, let's keep doing the little things that matter.
