Air Pollution: Local is Global
This post highlights a local effort that has far-reaching applications. In 2015, Dr. Edwin Stafford and Dr. Roslynn Brain, Utah State University, launched a clean air poster contest at Logan High School, in northern Utah, combining environmental science, art, and savvy marketing. The contest has since expanded into schools in the region and statewide. Building on the contest’s successful implementation, the expanded contest’s goals are to (1) inform high school teens learning to drive to recognize local air pollution, understand the pollution problems associated with their new driving privilege, and learn driving behaviors that can lessen their personal impact; and (2) have those high school teens create educational outreach posters about how people can reduce their personal impact on local air pollution aimed at their peers and local residents.
