Comment | If the air quality continues to decline, I am afraid I will be forced to move out of the Central Valley. Unfortunately, so will many of the privileged population - leaving only those who cannot afford to relocate to better circumstances. The World Health Organization estimates that air pollutions kills 656,000 people in China and 527,700 people in India each year. In many parts of these countries citizens wear masks to protect themselves. Here in the Central Valley California, we have visibly SEEN our air quality decline over the past 40 years. We cannot wait any longer to take strong action to protect ourselves from both the visible and invisible dangers of air pollution. On behalf of future citizens of California who cannot speak up: Please pass a strong diesel truck rule! |
