AIR POLLUTION IS A GLOBAL EMERGENCY (watch my full video to learn more)

Did you know that air pollution is the cause of approximately 6.5 million deaths annually? We need to continue to find ways to cut our carbon footprints and heal our planet, as temperatures due to human produced greenhouse gases are causing catastrophic events around the globe. Rising temperatures, that are breaking down our worlds atmosphere making it harder and harder to life to live on our dear planet 🌎💔 but human caused climate change can be human resolved climate change if we act fast and speak up for what is it we call, home. @unenvironment #beatairpollution #worldenvironmentalday

On #WorldEnvironmentDay I am more determined and focused than ever. Air & ocean Pollution are silent signals of distress. We need our so-called leaders to listen and act. As a lifelong asthma sufferer I know clean air is a basic human right. I won’t give up and neither will you. Remember nobody can do everything but everyone can do something. Take action with me and @unenvironment
Let’s #BeatAirPollution

Air pollution is a global emergency affecting everyone. It’s a silent killer with approximately 7 million people worldwide dying prematurely every year from air pollution.
To help #BeatAirPollution I’m committed to planting more trees, planting more food in my garden and composting whenever I can.

Join me and @unenvironment for #WorldEnvironmentDay and share what you will do to beat air pollution. Let’s do this! 👊🏼🌎 🙏🏼 A poluição do ar é uma emergência global que afeta a todos. E apesar de silencioso, mata prematuramente aproximadamente 7 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo.

For #WorldEnvironmentDay here’s a photo of me on my bike to remind you that biking, carpooling and taking public transportation really does help #BeatAirPollution . Remember I posted before that 93% of all children live in environments where air pollution levels are above @WHO guidelines. That is really bad for their health and our planet. If you didn’t already, tag me with a post of what you will do to help stop air pollution! Just #startwith1thing . Small steps lead to big changes. I’m watching to see who does it. I need your help to save the world. @unenvironment 🕊🌳🦍🐋🌍♻️💧🌊🙏🏼♥️
