Dia Mirza Instagram – Covid 19 gave us a glimpse into how clean our air can be when most human activities are shut down. The skies were blue again and the world took healthier and deeper breaths than we had in a long time! But lockdowns are temporary and the reality is that Air Pollution causes 7million premature deaths annually. So the question is how do we address this Climate and Public Health Emergency?
Jyoti Pande Lavakare has written a compelling book “Breathing Here Is Injurious To Your Health”, that evokes our empathy and our action! She is an independent financial journalist, author, clear air evangelist and co-founder Care for Air (@careforair.india) in 2015 and continues to raise awareness on #AirPollution and is a powerful advocate for #ClimateAction.
I’m very grateful to be speaking to Jyoti on the last #DownToEarthWithDee of 2020! It’s been a difficult year for people all over the world, however I believe that we’ve grown stronger and more connected through it all. It has also been an important year for Climate Action as we all witnessed what is happening to our planet due to our own behaviour, lifestyles and patterns of production and consumption. This conversation about the actions we can take to mitigate #AirPollution as we embrace 2021.
