Air pollution is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, ranking as the fourth highest mortality risk factor globally, responsible for ~7 million premature deaths annually.

👉 Add airborne communicable diseases and that number is significantly higher.

📣 GOOD NEWS:
We. Can. Do Something!

Rally!!

Educators and support staff are burning out. Sick leave costs are soaring—not just due to the long shadow of COVID-19, but because the system is simply too strained. Joy and energy in our schools are being replaced by exhaustion.

Fund Our Children
Fund a Healthy Future
Calling all parents, caregivers, students, PACs and DPACS. Saturday May 3rd at 1pm outside minister Beare's Constituency Office #104-20130 Lougheed Hwy, Maple Ridge BC Rally for Public Education Organized by the New West District Parents Advisory Council Contact newwestdpacchair@gmail.com for further information

Looking forward to seeing #ApricotTreeCafe joining us on Bluesky. Let’s do schools next! x.com/ApricotTreeC...
Screenshot of a tweet by Apricot Tree Cafe showing their HEPA air cleaners in their restaurant. The post is a reply to Restaurants Canada’s tweet about the federal GST “holiday”. Apricot Tree’s post reads: “Curious to know how many restaurants who have invested in #CLeanAir are still operating at a loss? I know of one that has invested and is operating at a 20 % increase over the previous fiscal year. And where did the most gain come from? The Winter month when more people avoid indoor dining. Restaurants and it's association should not be whining if they are not willing to make indoor dining safer. 5 Years and counting and still no word on providing operators with the knowledge they need to provide a safer enviroment for staff and customers.” There is also a screenshot in the next post with graphs showing how clean the air is in their restaurant.

Our new #CleanAir for Schools 'zine is ready! This pocket-sized comic is ready now as a FREE download on our website: linktr.ee/cleanairbcsc... Just print, fold, cut! (see attached instructions) And give them out to everyone! 😃 We are actively seeking translators, please DM!
Photo of a small comic book. Cover reads "Clean Air in Your School and Everywhere!" and shows a cartoon drawing of a Corsi-Rosenthal Box with a face, plus two children dressed as super-heroes, all flying through the clouds. Instructions on how to fold the comic into eight segments. A small cut is then made in the centre of the longest cut, allowing the entire sheet of paper to be folded into an 8-page booklet, or 'zine.
