## Resource

Chicago’s air quality plummeted as smoke from Canadian wildfires blanketed the city, reminding us climate change is no longer distant—it’s in our lungs and our lives. This summer’s crisis, part of a growing trend, underscores how global warming fuels extreme weather. A group of Illinois volunteers, including college students, are traveling to Washington D.C. to demand bipartisan action on forest protection and clean energy. They frame climate policy as a public health and human rights issue, arguing it’s a “threat multiplier” that worsens poverty and inequality. Their goal? Policies that heal the planet and boost the economy—urgently, and for everyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
