   A lot of people will be very negatively impacted by this Republican extremism, yet there are still people who claim they don’t see a difference in this election between Biden as president (with the power to put in place environmental protections and the power to nominate justices) and Trump. It’s laughable.

   Take a good look at this picture because this is the world you’re creating if Trump wins.

     When my parents were little, they were rarely allowed outside for school recess because of the smog.

     Decades of environmental advocacy improved the air. When I was little, the air in that same area was frequently smoggy yet better.

     On my last visit there, the air was so clear when it wasn't raining that I could view surrounding hills and wind farms.

     I don't want everyone living in that area to again be smothered by pollutants every day. For some reason, the GOP does.

     Scary.

     Anyone who doesn't have breathing problems and is thinking that this won't affect them is wrong because it doesn't take many years to develop chronic and debilitating breathing issues from polluted air.
     Children and adults die each year from breathing problems.
     There is no herd immunity or vaccine to protect you from polluted air , only tight regulations to stop companies in their efforts to avoid cleaning up their emissions.
     Vote wisely because this is your future.

     Anyone who cares about the environment, if you don't want the GOP to continue to kill us, I suggest you come out in droves to vote blue.

     @TonyStark @Snowshadow I am taking advantage of all of the credits afforded to us and the climate initiative Inflation Reduction Act. The solar panel credits are awesome including Federal, State and my electric utility company. It will be almost free.
