Clean air is essential for the health and well-being of our families and the environment. Unfortunately, the air we breathe is often polluted due to the lack of accountability by bad actors and polluting industries. In addition, some leaders are not committed to developing cleaner energy sources that can improve air quality while being cost-effective.
Families living near industrial facilities are particularly vulnerable to chronic air pollution, which can lead to serious health problems such as asthma and cancer. However, pollution control technologies are available and have been successful in many communities. Renewable energy and energy efficiency are also viable solutions that can create jobs while reducing carbon pollution.
We have already made progress in Michigan towards cleaner air and energy, but there is more work to be done. As a member of Michigan LCV, you have the power to make a difference by holding polluters accountable and advocating for cleaner air. By staying informed about recent victories and setbacks, you can take action to fight for our clean air. Together, we can launch Michigan to the forefront of clean energy and make a positive impact on our environment.
