Stop Polluters
We are currently working on the “Stop Polluters” campaign, which aims to prevent the life-threatening health and environmental problems associated with burning coal and oil. These devastating practices cause pollutants such as smog, soot and mercury, to be unleashed on our communities who are forced to bear the environmental and health costs. Soot and smog pollution are closely linked to a sharp increases in respiratory and heart problems including asthma, lung disease and heart attacks. Mercury acts as a potent neurotoxin and can damage the brain and nervous system and poses a particular threat to our most vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly.
