Small actions can make a big impact when amplified over time through changing social norms that support building strong communities. Biking to commute is no exception, especially when kids are involved! Let's make every week bike week! www.climatesolutionsforhealth.org/news-views/1... #bikes

Coal-fired power plants are some of the worst offenders when it comes to causing harm to human health and the environment. It’s also more expensive and less reliable than other cleaner sources for power. wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/06/23/c...

Trump says climate change doesn’t endanger public health – evidence shows it does, from extreme heat to mosquito-borne illnesses
Climate change is making people sicker and more vulnerable to disease. Erasing the federal endangerment finding increases the risk.

I have an op-ed in @captimes.com on EPA’s proposal to ignore the health harms of air pollution in agency rulemaking. “By abandoning its longstanding practice of monetizing public health benefits of air pollution reductions, [EPA] is tilting its cost–benefit calculus in favor of polluting industry.”
captimes.com
Opinion | Trump EPA ignores health harms of air pollution
UW–Madison research shows that eliminating air pollution emissions in the U.S. energy system could prevent more than 50,000 premature deaths each year.

A typical passenger vehicle emits around 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year and can give off smog-forming emissions that may exacerbate lung diseases. Opt for options that can cut emissions (and possibly increase your physical activity), such as biking, using public transit, or walking!
