“Helping disadvantaged families who suffer the most regarding air pollution and inadequate transit systems is key. ‘Ward-Waller says she expects the funds will be used to expand existing bike-share systems into low-income communities, help subsidize low-income memberships or even get a new system off the ground.’ Many of us do not focus on this aspect of life — or feel powerless. Controlling what we breathe is confusing. Even when one of our loved one’s develops cancer or other serious health conditions, we focus on genetics. Genetics is a reason why we are more vulnerable to these factors, but there is a risk of 21,400 serious health conditions due to air pollution.”
