GreeningUSA’s Virtual Green Bag Lunch:’ Air Pollution in Syracuse & The I-81 Project’

This webinar presentation and discussion will be held via GoTo Meeting from noon to 1:30 p.m.  Friday, March 26. The focus is air pollution. Ambient air pollution accounts for an estimated 4.2 million deaths per year due to stroke, heart disease, lung cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. These deaths disproportionately impact minority, lower income and lower education individuals. Speakers include: Terrance Valdez, Americorp Intern, Onondaga Earth Corps;  Greg Michel, executive director, Onondaga Earth Corp; Amy Samuels, Onondaga Environmental Institute, and Professor Jaime Mirowsky, SUNY ESF. Join to learn about their work on air pollution in Syracuse.  A discussion of how this relates to the removal of the elevated portion of I-81 and the community grid will follow.
