On International Clean Air Day, September 7, we called upon City of Tacoma Government to prioritize clean air for everyone. ![]()

A recent Harvard study revealed that 1 in 5 deaths worldwide was due to fossil fuel pollution. Here in Tacoma we deal with a lot of it, from the US Oil refinery to the port, to the freeways winding through our city. Transportation accounts for 40% of greenhouse gas pollution in our region, and with that comes particulate matter pollution which is harmful to our health (just like the wildfire smoke we are experiencing now).![]()

How much you make and where you live in your city determine the quality of the air you breathe, since polluting, industrial sites are often placed near poorer and more diverse neighborhoods, sometimes because of historical redlining practices (whereby people of color were restricted in where they could live within a city by manipulating their opportunities for obtaining housing).![]()

And right in line with that, developers from Chicago are looking to build a mega warehouse facility in South Tacoma, in the poorest, most diverse, most health-impacted area of our city. What's wrong with a warehouse? It will bring an estimated 12,000 extra vehicle trips daily through South Tacoma neighborhoods, greatly increasing residents' exposure to diesel particulate matter, a major cancer risk.![]()

So let's make everyday a clean air day. Let's advocate for clean air for everyone, Tacoma!![]()
