On climate justice: The air we breathe

There are two dangerous feedback loops that occur in relation to climate change, air quality and racial and health equity:

  • Extreme heat can lead to poor air quality and in turn poor air quality can cause rising temperatures. Data shows that when extreme heat and poor air quality combine, the effect on public health is vastly worse than when either extreme heat or poor air quality occur on their own.
  • Health disparities between racial and ethnic communities are worsened by the industries that have caused climate change and climate change in turn worsens disparities in health outcomes.

Fix-It Clinics are returning Saturday, Nov. 19, after a two-year hiatus, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We asked some of our veteran fixers to share their favorite memories from previous clinics.
