What We Take for Granted: Part 1, Clean Water
By Heather Haas
 Recent news has got my head spinning. Reading the news about Flint, Michigan’s poisoned water is bringing up powerful emotions.
The city, facing declining tax revenues, was looking for ways to save some money. The water supply was a target of budget cuts, with the city deciding to switch from buying water from nearby Detroit, to pulling water from the Flint River.
Corrosion control was not completed when the water supply was changed, leading to lead leaching from the old pipes of the city and its homes.
This is the type of disaster that brought forth the modern environmental movement. How on Earth could this happen in this day and age? There are two things contemporary U.S. Citizens take for granted, but shouldn’t: clean water and clean air.
How To Tax Carbon – And Grow The Economy
The debate over whether climate change is real is essentially settled. Now the question is,  what are we going to do about keeping temperatures from rising out of control?

If more businesses get involved on policies like this from the beginning, policymakers can take a stand on climate change without having to worry about losing their seats.
That’ll mean more and faster action. And when it comes to climate change, we can’t afford to wait any longer.

What We Take for Granted: Part 2, Clean Air
By Heather Haas
Much like clean water, clean air is something Americans tend to take for granted, but  shouldn’t.
Most people spend upwards of 90% of their time indoors, making indoor air quality a major factor in human health. Chances are good there is something you can do to improve the air inside your office regardless of its current quality. Any steps you take are sure to be appreciated by everyone that spends their days breathing in your building.
