@BreatheProject @AndySheehankdka @ACE_Fitzgerald Imagine how this air quality map would look~if every resident reported symptoms & smells. The reports on this map only represent a small segment of our population. 😷😷😷
Large numbers of people MUST VOTE for climate change candidates and take to the streets. Join #pittsburgh in the streets for Earth Day 2020 on April 22 https://t.co/hfG3wvVNPu
So, I guess that @GovernorTomWolf and @SenBobCasey and @ACE_Fitzgerald are going against the better judgement of the former UN Climate Chief by advocating for fracking while she advocates for civil disobedience. #climate @ssteingraber1 @BreatheProject https://t.co/KtJLeqYfoq
ANOTHER morning in the red for the Liberty-#Clairton area, where the monitor is registering the 2nd worst #airquality in the U.S. Be careful out there if you have breathing issues. Remember: You can make an air quality complaint to ACHD by calling 412-687-ACHD. @BreatheProject
