Military Fights Global Warming

Is the Navy greener than California? As more polls show that a majority of Americans want action on carbon pollution and global warming, leadership on fighting climate change is coming from surprising places—starting with the military. At a recent reception held by Environmental Defense Fund in Washington D.C….Defense Secretary Leon Panetta gave a speech in …

A Mother's Day Gift

A Mother's Day Gift

I was recently thinking about Mother’s Day gifts from my sons over the years. Those wonderfully awkward clay sculptures they brought home from grade school; the colored drawings and the poems they write. And when they got a bit older, and had some pocket money, the bits of treasure they found. One son gave me …

The Wind Map: We Share The Air

I still remember the first time I sprawled on my back across the grass and watched the clouds drift by. I was about four or five years old. I found animal shapes and people shapes, and excitedly pointed them out to my little sister. The afternoon flew by as the wind blew a parade of …

"The Wait And See Approach Will Be Too Late" ~ Dr. Heidi Cullen

Doctors, nurses, and public health officials agree: industrial carbon pollution threatens the health of Americans. With record-breaking heat, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and earthquakes on the rise, the evidence of climate change from air pollution is all around us.

A Worried Mother Does Better Research Than The FBI

A Worried Mother Does Better Research Than The FBI

That’s because we’re motivated not just by fear, but by love. When my kids were teens, I thought I only had to worry about where they were, whom they were with, and what they were doing. It never occurred to me that I had to worry about: Toxic Air Pollution Toxic Chemicals in Our Stuff …

Past Time To Stop Greenhouse Gas Pollution

Past Time To Stop Greenhouse Gas Pollution

I trust the experts. When doctors told me I had a tumor on my kidney, I didn’t start arguing with them about cell division. They went to medical school, and I did not. I didn’t need to understand how CAT scans worked, or what exactly an MRI did. If I wanted to save my life, …

The Racial Politics Of Asthma

In the wake of the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida, there’s been a lot of talk about the risks to black children of being shot and by whom. Last week Harry C. Alford, the President and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, testified against the new Mercury and Air Toxic Standards …

Black With Asthma

Black With Asthma

You know how sometimes a talking head can make you so agitated that you want to yell at the screen? I felt that way listening to the recent testimony of Harry C. Alford, the President and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, during a Senate committee hearing. “Stop playing politics with our children!" …

Sometimes, You Just Have To Laugh…

When Moms Clean Air Force was just a twinkle in our eyes, I went to visit my longtime pal, Gerry Laybourne. She was the genius behind Nickelodeon; she and my sister worked together for years, so it feels like a family connection. I can't tell you how many hours of fun my sons, their cousins …

Thank you, Jessica Capshaw, For A Great New Video Endorsement!

Thank you, Jessica Capshaw, For A Great New Video Endorsement!

I’ll admit it. I’m addicted to Grey’s Anatomy. My dad was a surgeon, and as a kid I really wanted to go to medical school when I grew up. But I couldn’t even get through pre-med. Advanced calculus undid me. Now I get my medical thrills from TV. So when Jessica Capshaw reached out to …
