On today’s episode, Lauren and Katie chat about air pollution and the adverse impacts it has on both the mental and physical health of millions of U.S. residents. They highlight research showing the correlation between air pollution and health and they connect the dots to racism and injustice, focusing especially on regions where Faith in Place works. Aiding their conversation is an article recently published by The Guardian that revealed the top 10 worst places in the U.S. for air quality. The team also shares stories from their lived experiences that add depth to a topic that can be broad and ambiguous.
