...A resource for activists, families, kids and teachers!
We breathe it in and out of our lungs every day. The air in the atmosphere keeps our bodies alive and supports the entire environment in which we live. The air carries the seeds that give us plants, the oxygen we breathe, the aromas of sweet flowers we smell, birds through the sky, and much more. It is key in the cycle of life.
Unfortunately, the same air that we breathe carries toxins, disease, pollution, CFC's which ruin our ozone, and smog. We have a responsibility as citizen's of the planet to do our part to preserve the air which surrounds us. Below are a list of links all about our air. Breeze through them and learn something new!
