About
​​​ After retiring from the San Francisco Department of Public Health, I wanted
to do something for the environment.
​
​​
A group of us asked our pension fund
to divest from fossil-fuels,
but we had only limited success.
​
​
Meanwhile, my wife and I dramatically cut our own greenhouse gas emissions.
​
​
I joined other groups urging
political leaders to do much more,
much sooner, to stop toxic pollution.
​
​
However, progress was slow
at every governmental level:
city, county, etc.
​
​​​​
What I felt was missing was talking
about the CAUSES of the problem.
​
​​​
Too few of us see the connections
between our own behavior,
the consequences of local pollution, and slowly worsening global weather patterns.
​
​​
It came to me that a “boycott of pollution” might be a good way to:
​
- spread information,
- motivate people,
- reduce deadly pollution,
- and spark economic &
- political momentum
​
toward cleaner, healthier air and
brighter weather forecasts.
​​
​
​
Can you help make it happen?
