Little has been made public about the extensive use of PFAS firefighting foam in Chicago. The Defense Department is examining the spread of the chemicals from the city’s two airports, where military stations once operated. chicago.suntimes.com/2023/11…

The bad news: the way we burn fossil fuels in Chicago buildings is destroying our environment from the ground up. The good news: we have ordinances READY to go that will address this issue! #ChiDecarb nytimes.com/2023/07/11/clima…

Nice to see @NewsHour come to Chicago to see how this city’s automated speed cameras are ticketing Black and brown residents the most — following up on reporting by @indyemapolis and me
Nearly 200 communities have automated speed cameras in place. But critics say that in places like Chicago, the tickets and fines they generate fall disproportionately on Black and brown residents. to.pbs.org/43cx4bz

This past weekend in #Chicagoland was filled with unhealthy #AirQuality. #Ozone #Smog levels were high. And expected to be high, and unhealthy, once again tomorrow. With sunny, dry, calm weather ahead, makes sense to keep tabs on airnow.gov for air quality info.

The city should delay the demolition of the incinerator until adequate notification to residents has been completed and more details about the implosion, air monitoring, and precautions are provided.
