#FightToBreathe: Burning through your lungs

If you saw someone smoking 50 cigarettes a day, you’d be concerned. But even if you’re not a smoker, a really bad day of air pollution is the equivalent of smoking that much. Fifty cigarettes, 24 hours, killing your body in ways you don’t want to imagine.

That’s why we’ve launched #FightToBreathe, a collaboration between Newslaundry, experts, readers – and you. Beyond the confines of the news cycle, we’ll dive deep into the root causes for pollution, investigate government action, and come up with actionable solutions. We’ll have text stories and video reports, round-table discussions and cartoons like these. Because this is a year-long issue and it needs year-long focus.
