"As a parent it is heartbreaking to see your three asthmatic children struggling to breathe every day. And when you can’t breathe, nothing else matters. We were fortunate in that we could pick up and relocate to escape poor air quality so our asthmatic children could breathe clean air. But there are many families that do not have that option, and those children, the elderly, the poor -- those most vulnerable & those most impacted by climate change -- are stuck. They’re stuck breathing dirty air. Reducing carbon pollution is not just about protecting my family’s health but putting healthy air safeguards in place to protect all families.” – Laura Kellogg, mother, Wilmington, NC #ActOnClimate #COP21
