A girl’s death, and her mom’s fight for clean air

from What On Earth

Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah doesn’t want any other kids to die the way Ella did. The 9-year-old suffered a fatal asthma attack, which has since been linked to air pollution from her neighbourhood in London. Now, her mom is suing the U.K. government and taking her campaign global. And – Alberta has declared an early start to wildfire season, even as so-called zombie fires continue to burn underground. Next, as climate change shifts from abstract threat to lived reality for many Canadians, columnist Abhay Singh Sachal says our mental health system needs to adapt to support people after disasters. Plus, a drag queen ice skating show about climate change is derailed by warm weather.
