Pollution. It can be pretty scary. We know it's all around us, but we can't see it. The ultimate hope is to eliminate pollution, but we still have to live with it. That doesn't mean we have to just give up.

I'm Bryn Lindblad, Deputy Director of Climate Resolve. We're a local nonprofit, all about practical solutions to climate change that advance equity and give people opportunity to thrive.

So Byrne is taking a new approach toward pollution.

We've got a lot of tools in our toolbox. There's a lot we could do. And climate movement, it used to be

kind of segregated. There was those who thought we only need to focus on reducing climate pollution.

And it's changed that there's now a realization that adapting to those climate impacts,

we need to do that at the same time. It used to be kind of like a dirty word or something.

We were like accepting that climate change was happening rather than trying to stop it.

But now we've kind of reached this understanding that, you know, you can be adapting to climate change and trying to mitigate it at the same time.

All right. So what can we do in the meantime? Here are just a few small daily adjustments.

We can be counteracting the source of the pollution, trying to electrify cars, trying to get people driving less, stopping

idling near schools, near pickup areas, leaf blowers out there. There's rebates that people don't

know about to try to electrify a lot of the sources of combustion. Next up is protect yourself

and your loved ones by learning when there are good pollution days and bad pollution days.

That's easier than ever with your smartphone.

My favorite is looking at the purple air map, which has pretty local air quality sensors out

there, a network of air quality sensors. There's some gaps where there's not enough sensors

out there. And if you live in one of those areas, you can volunteer to host a sensor and install one, no cost to yourself.

How do you do that? Who do you volunteer too?

Yeah, Coalition for Clean Air. Their clear program is coordinating people to add sensors where there's not any now.

If it's a bad pollution day, there also are some things you can do to keep your lungs healthy.

There's some sort of behavior change stuff, things like pollution masks that look a lot like
