I have been teaching fourth and fifth grades at Pittsburgh Urban Christian School (PUCS) in
Wilkinsburg, PA since 2007. Last year, as part of my integrated unit about the circulatory and
respiratory systems, my students and I began working with Women for a Healthy Environment
on a multi-faceted air quality project. I found myself both deeply interested and engaged in
issues of poor air quality in our region, and I want to continue learning and working towards
solutions!
Contact Women for a Healthy Environment with any questions, comments or concerns. We will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner. We thank you for your interest in our network!
Our program focuses on the crucial issue of environmental justice, particularly in the face of climate change. The event will take place on Wednesday, May 1st, 2024, 6:00 – 8:30 pm, at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh.
During her talk, Dr. White-Newsome will shed light on the disproportionate impact of environmental pollution and climate change on low-income neighborhoods and communities of color.
