May Chapter Meeting including presentation on Environmental & Climate Equity: A local perspective by Carolee Estelle, MD
A
A
Then
jeff's
going
to
do
a
land
acknowledgement
we're
going
to
set
the
community
ground
rules
like
we
do
every
week,
we'll
have
a
little
bit
of
time
for
community
building
and
self-care
and
then
we'll
actually
get
to
our
guest
speaker
today,
who
is
dr
carolee
estelle
and
then
we'll
so
that'll
be
about
45
minutes,
and
then
we
have
about
15
20
minutes
for
announcements
and
other
items,
and
then
we
will
wrap
it
up
with
another
community
building
and
self-care
opportunity,
and
then
we
will
adjourn
so
that
is
what
today
looks
like.
So
welcome
everybody.
A
On
behalf
of
the
dallas-fort
worth
climate
reality
chapter,
my
name
is
alex.
I
will
be
facilitating
today
in
the
place
of
richard
who
is
at
his
granddaughter's
recital
right
in
austin.
This
is
his
granddaughters
yeah.
He
is
the
one
who
normally
facilitates
these,
so
I
will
do
my
best
to
temporarily
do
this,
but
my
name
is
alex.
I'm
one
of
your
co-vice
chairs,
simon,
is
the
other
co-vice
chair
and
leah.
A
B
Well,
hello,
my
name
is
linda
knight
and
I
have
been.
I
live
on,
wiley
actually
outside
of
wiley,
and
I
have
five
acres,
so
I
can
consider
this
my
nature
preserve.
I
have
many
critters
and
things
trees
and
having
a
lovely
time
here.
I
previously
lived
for
about
25
years
in
houston,
where
I
taught
in
the
houston
isd
program
and
also
did
a
number
of
things
across
the
state.
B
B
So
I
am
at
the
beginning
of
trying
to
find
a
way
to
get
it
out
as
far
as
possible
into
high
schools,
and
I'm
hoping
that
somehow,
through
your
organization
through
this
through
our
organization,
since
I've
now
managed
to
make
myself
a
member,
I'm
hoping
to
find
a
way
to
figure
out
how
to
reach
out
to
the
right
people
to
get
it
sponsored
and
get
it
promoted
and
get
in
the
schools
where
it
really
needs
to
be.
So.
Thank
you.
A
C
In
the
dfw
areas,
we're
standing
and
living
on,
this
lands
stolen
from
the
kitabu
wichita
tawakoni,
jumenos
and
comanche
people
who
have
been
harmed
yet
continue
to
thrive
in
the
process
of
colonization
and
white
supremacy.
I
encourage
all
of
us
to
go
to
nativeland.ca
and
educate
ourselves
on
these
native
communities.
A
E
E
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
welcome
new
members.
We
have
a
couple
here
which
is
really
nice
to
have
new
faces
and
old
faces
as
well.
So,
every
month,
when
we
start
our
chapter
meeting,
I
just
want
to
take
a
couple
time
minutes
to
go
through
the
community
ground
world,
just
as
a
reminder
not
just
for
you,
but
also
for
myself.
E
Intent
does
not
negay
impact
disagree
without
discord.
Personal
attacks
and
labeling
have
no
place
in
our
chapter
and
lastly,
climate
is
a
big
issue
as
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we
are
dealing
with
in
our
society,
so
accept
that
there
is
no
quick
fix
all
right.
Thank
you
guys
and
back
to
you
alex.
I
will
stop
sharing.
A
Thank
you,
leah,
alrighty,
and
next
up
we
have
our
community
building
and
self-care
we're
going
to
take
a
couple
minutes
for
that
beth.
Our
creative
chair
is
going
to
be
leading
that,
and
I
think,
she's
also
going
to
announce
a
meeting
that
they
have
this
week,
if
you're
interested
in
our
creatives
group
so
beth
over
to
you.
Thank
you.
B
Yes,
this
this
beginning
is
actually
under
the
heading
of
the
climate
creatives.
What
we
have
learned
is
that
the
community
building
and
and
wellness
and
the
creatives
are
doing
similar
things
right
now,
so
we're
sort
of
merging
and
speaking
of
the
climate
creating
creatives.
Our
next
meeting
is
this
thursday.
B
A
Thank
you,
beth
that
was
great
and,
like
leah
posted
in
the
chat
they
have
the
creatives
meeting.
Is
this
thursday
from
6
30
to
7
30
p.m:
it'll
be
over
zoom
right,
beth!
Yes,
yes,
it's
over
zoom,
so
feel
free
after
you
get
off
work
or
from
wherever
you
are
to
log
on
and
enjoy
that
time
spent
together
all
righty.
Let
me
see
here
all
right,
so
now
we're
going
to
get
to
our
guest
speaker,
dr
estelle.
A
If
you
want
to
turn
your
camera
on,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
introduce
you
so
dr
carolee
estelle
is
my
colleague
over
at
ut
southwestern.
I
actually
met
her
when
we
were
both
guest
lecturers
for
a
elective
for
first
year,
medical
students
on
climate
change
and
human
health,
and
I
got
the
privilege
to
listen
to
her
talk
about
some
local
issues
related
to
climate
change
and
health
and
was
just
blown
away
by
her
lecture.
A
A
F
E
F
You
so
much
alex
a
for
that
introduction,
but
also
to
your
crew.
This
is
a
really
big
honor
for
me,
as
you
guys
are
the
ones
doing
this
hard
work,
and
so
I
feel
a
little
bit
not
qualified
to
present
to
you
all-
and
this
is
the
presentation
that
I
put
together
for
our
medical
students,
as
as
she
talked
about,
which
is
really
an
introductory
course
to
get
them
learning
and
thinking
about
these
issues,
particularly
as
they
relate
to
health.
F
And
if
we
don't
stop
the
1.5
to
2
degree
warming,
an
additional
65
million
will
be
exposed
to
exceptionally
extreme
heat
waves.
Every
five
years
three
billion
people
will
live
in
areas
with
water
scarcity
and
nine.
An
additional
nine
million
annual
deaths
from
climate
related
illnesses
by
2100
compared
to
1961
and
1990.
F
In
addition
to
africa
and
small
island
states,
south
asia
and
central
america
will
also
be
disproportionately
negatively
impacted.
All
african
countries
countries
have
contributed
less
than
3
percent
of
cumulative
global
emissions.
They
are
projected
to
experience
more
than
50
percent
of
the
excess
deaths
from
climate
climate
related
illness
in
part
because,
based
on
worst
case
scenario,
warming
based
on
worst
case
scenario,
warming,
there
would
increase
extreme
heat
exposure
to
118
times
historical
levels,
while
in
europe
these
heat
exposures
would
only
increase
by
fourfold.
F
F
So,
across
these
climate,
disadvantaged
continents
and
regions,
31
to
143
million
people
are
projected
to
potentially
become
displaced.
In
addition
to
these
disproportionate
negative
consequences.
Currently
it's
been
found.
3.8
percent
of
funding
from
climate
research
has
gone
to
projects
focused
on
africa
over
the
last
30
years.
F
For
us,
poor
air
quality
is
our
biggest
problem.
It's
the
most
significant
environmental
health
risk
we
face
in
the
us.
Fine
particulate
matter
is
especially
harmful
and
is
responsible
for
more
than
more
than
a
thousand
deaths
per
year
across
the
u.s.
People
of
color
are
exposed
to
more
air
pollution
than
whites
according
to
studies
by
the
epa
and
with
40
percent
of
americans,
or
more
than
135
million
people
currently
living
in
areas
with
unhealthy
levels
of
ozone
or
particle
pollution.
F
So
this
figure-
I
know
that
it's
a
lot,
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
break
it
down,
because
I
think
it's
a
very
meaningful
figure.
This
figure
represents
the
pm
2.5
or
that
fine
particulate
matter,
concentrations
that
are
resulting
from
emissions
from
each
emitter
group,
which
is
the
maps
on
the
left
and
the
relationships
among
the
pm,
2.5
health
impacts
as
attributed
to
the
emitters
in
the
left
bar
the
end
users,
the
middle
bar
and
the
end
user.
F
Sorry,
the
end
uses,
which
is
the
middle
bar
and
the
end
users,
which
is
the
right
bar
the
blue,
connecting
lines,
show
the
relationship
among
emitters
and
users
and
end
uses
I'm
going
to
try
not
to
mix
that
up
in
the
future,
because
it's
important
to
distinguish
them
into
uses
and
in
users
and
in
the
the
thickness
of
that
blue.
Connecting
line
is
a
representation
of
the
quantity
or
the
proportion
of
those
contributions
of
note.
Connecting
lines
representing
less
than
a
thousand
deaths
are
not
shown
in
this
figure.
F
So
the
height
of
the
bar
on
the
left
shows
the
number
of
pm
2.5
attributable
premature
death
caused
by
the
physical
production
of
emissions
from
each
group
of
emitters
and
the
biggest
emitter
there
is
the
or
so
biogenic
wildfire
and
industrial
emissions
contribute
to
the
greatest
proportion
of
premature
deaths
caused
by
emissions
in
the
u.s
and
number
feeling.
This
is
quantified
in
this
number.
The
left,
you
can
see
the
scale
zero.
F
I
think
this
is
a
very
powerful
figure
and
this
one
shows
the
average
pm
2.5
exposure
experienced
and
caused
by
racial
ethnic
groups.
Each
group
of
bars
shows
the
emitters,
which
is
a
and
the
end
users
uses
rather,
which
are
responsible
for
the
exposure
which
is
b
and
then
the
great
connecting
line
showing
the
relationship
among
the
emitters
and
end
uses
pollution.
Inequity
is
the
percent
difference
between
the
group's
exposed
bar
and
their
caused
bar.
F
Again,
this
is
all
this
figure.
These
figures
are
again
just
to
highlight
that
what
is
in
will
be
seen
on
the
global
scale
is
also
being
seen
within
the
us
in
terms
of
the
largest
emission
contributors
experiencing
the
least
of
its
harms
figure.
A
shows.
The
percent
pollution
inequity
inequity,
which,
with
each
group's
contributions
in
white
and
their
exposure
in
the
color
component
of
their
bar
figure
b,
shows
the
exposure
of
each
group
to
total
combined
consumption
of
all
groups
in
the
solid
line
and
the
exposure
caused
by
each
group's
population.
F
But
then,
when
they
looked
at
the
75
of
those
plants
that
received
a
failing
grade
because
they
were
responsible
for
14
percent
of
the
emissions.
From
all
u.s
plants
combined,
the
4
million
people
living
within
the
3
miles
of
those
75
plants
have
an
average
income
of
17
000
a
year
and
53
percent
are
minorities.
F
So
using
the
2011
national
emissions
inventory
an
american
survey
community
survey
from
2000
to
2013.
This
figure
illustrates
the
population-wide
distribution
of
of
absolute
pm,
2.5
burden
caused
specifically
by
emissions
from
nearby
facilities
for
the
overall
population,
as
well
as
for
several
subgroups
across
the
distribution.
F
The
gap
in
burden
between
those
above
and
those
below
the
poverty
line
is
smaller
than
the
gap
between
whites
and
non-whites,
so
that
racial
impact
is
greater
than
the
poverty
impact
at
the
50
percentile
50th
percentile
whites
have
an
absolute
pm
2.5
burden
below
0.1
tons
per
year,
which
is
more
than
an
order
of
magnitude
below
the
burden
of
any
of
their
non-white
counterparts
and
at
the
80th
percentile.
The
absolute
burden
for
whites
is
less
than
half
the
absolute
burden
for
equivalent
non-whites.
F
And
this
figure
is
we're
not
going
to
go
through
it
in
detail.
It's
really
just
meant
to
show
the
data.
That's
behind
the
following
statement
that
the
non-whites
and
those
living
in
poverty
face
a
disproportionate
burden
from
a
particulate
matter
emitting
facilities
and
blacks
in
particular,
are
likely
to
live
in
high
emissions
areas,
with
an
average
pm
2.5
burden
for
black
populations
being
1.54
times
that
of
the
population.
F
Overall
and
again,
it's
that
the
racial
disparity
is
larger
than
the
poverty-based
disparity,
which
has
1.35
times
the
overall
population
average
exposure
and
burden-
and
this
figure
really
looks,
is
just
to
look
at
the
absolute
pm.
2.5
emissions
version,
a
burden
by
the
byraka
code
and
stratified
by
race,
ethnicity
and
then
poverty,
status
and
raqqa
stands
for
the
rural
urban
commuting
area
and
it's
broken
into
down
into
one
through
three,
which
are
the
metropolitan
core.
F
F
The
dashed
line
indicates
the
mean
average
burden
for
all
groups
in
the
united
states
in
the
u.s
census
bureau
for
2013
set
the
poverty
level,
as
you
can
see,
the
exposure
of
black
populations
in
the
green
bar
for
each
of
these
rucka
codes
in
their
exposure
to
emissions
from
nearby
facilities.
Because,
again,
this
study
is
particularly
about
communities
from
near
with
nearby
facilities
surpasses
all
other
groups,
including
those
below
the
poverty
line
in
every
raqqa
code,
except
for
codes,
three
and
nine,
which
are
both
low
commuter
areas.
F
F
So
moving
on
to
extreme
weather,
increased
extreme
events
like
heat
waves
and
hurricanes
are
expected.
Many
communities
of
color
live
in
low-lying
areas
more
prone
to
flooding.
Currently,
counties
with
large
black
populations
are
exposed
to
two
to
three
times
more
extreme
heat
days
per
year
on
average,
compared
to
counties
with
fewer
black
populations
and
by
mid-century
extreme
heat
days,
estimate
estimated
to
increase
by
more
than
20
times.
F
Individuals
with
pre-existing
medical
conditions,
particularly
cardiovascular
and
respiratory
disease,
are
at
higher
risk
for
mortality
during
periods
of
high
indoor,
prolonged
heat
and
in
a
study
of
nine
counties
in
california,
each
10
degree
fahrenheit,
increase
in
temperature
throughout
the
day
corresponded
to
a
2.3
increase
in
mortality
and
by
the
end
of
the
century,
researchers
project
that
150
000
additional
heat
related
deaths
among
the
40
largest
u.s
cities
will
occur,
and
this
includes
dallas.
We
are
in
those
cities.
F
So
as
we
move
to
texas
and
even
our
local
dfw
area,
we
will
walk
through
some
of
the
ways
that
these
environmental
and
climate
inequities
exist
here
according
to
the
american
lung
association-
oh
I'm
sorry,
yeah,
american
lung
association
and
their
state
of
the
air
report
card.
The
dfw
area
is
ranked
17
out
of
226
metropolitan
areas
for
its
high
ozone
days.
It's
ranked
42
out
of
216
metropolitan
areas
for
the
24-hour
vertical
pollution
and
ranked
50
out
of
almost
200
metro
areas
for
the
annual
particle
fully
annual
particle
pollution.
F
F
And
this
really
is
just
showing
that
dallas
community
emissions
source
contributions
in
much
like
the
us
at
the
u.s
average.
The
majority
of
our
contributions
are
from
commercial
and
transportation
or
other
mobile
sources,
where
we
differ
from
the
us
average
is
that
we
have
small
contribution
from
industrial,
a
smaller
contribution
from
industrial
energy
emission
and
have
a
greater
contribution
from
our
residential
energy
admissions.
F
And
I'm
as
I'm,
you
know,
this
is
again
preaching
to
the
choir.
So
I'm
sure
you
are
all
aware
that
zip
code
matters
and
in
the
city
of
dallas
there
is
a
15-year
difference
in
life
expectancy
depending
on
the
zip
code,
you're
from
nearly
300
industrial
sites
emit
pollution
in
black
and
latino
communities
in
dallas
and
in
west
dallas.
It's
estimated
that
.03
tons
of
air
pollution
per
person
per
year
when
you
go
to
yo
edge,
which
is
a
section
of
the
city
that
was
settled
by
formerly
enslaved
people
in
1872.
F
It's
estimated
at
0.42
tons
of
air
pollution
per
person
per
year,
and
then,
when
you
go
to
flora
farms,
it's
estimated
4.48
tons
of
air
pollution
per
person
per
year
in
district
8,
where
particulate
matter
is
highest.
The
life
expectancy
in
one
of
its
zip
codes
is
70.8
years
overall,
with
76.5
for
women
and
66.3
for
men,
but
then
in
university
park
the
life
expectancy
is
82.
Overall
83.6
for
women
and
80
were
went
for
men.
F
How
does
this
happen?
Well,
nearly
all
permitted
polluters
in
dallas
are
in
minority
neighborhoods.
This
map
shows
communities
of
color
in
pink
and
white
communities
in
orange.
The
black
dots
representing
facilities
with
air
pollution
permits,
as
you
can
see,
these
dots
cluster
in
and
around
communities
of
color
and
are
conspicuously
absent
from
majority
white
neighborhoods.
F
F
F
I
didn't
get
enough
time
to
create
it,
and
I'm
sure
you
all
have
already
been
made
aware
of
this,
but
work
and
studies
led
by
local
environmental
groups
such
as
you
guys
have
identified
that
this
land,
where
shingle
mountain
was
has
more
than
three
times
the
level
of
of
safe
lead
levels
in
the
soil
and
it's
actually
really
residual.
From
decades
of
industrial
zoning
and
many
different
versions
of
these
types
of
shingle
mountain
that
have
accumulated
over
the
years.
F
Work
is
being
done
now
and
whether
not
100
sure,
if
you
guys,
are
contributing
to
it,
but
I
know
there's
groups
that
are
working
toward
those
they're
working
to
mitigate
putting
in
those
procedures
to
mitigate
the
lead
in
the
soil.
But
what
also
still
needs
to
occur
is
the
monitoring
of
those
populations
and
of
those
people
for
that
lead,
poisoning.
F
Climate
change
in
cities,
so
climate
change
in
cities
is
driven
by
two
phenomena
and
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
the
definitions
on
the
slide.
I
did
that
for
the
students.
I
know
you
guys
know,
but
the
warming
trends
reported
by
climate
science
often
do
not
reflect
the
impact
of
the
urban
heat
island
effect
and
the
magnitude
of
warming
that
urban
populations
are
confronting
is
profoundly
underestimated
because
of
the
urban
heat
island
effect.
F
Research
focused
on
the
extent
to
which
the
global
greenhouse
effect
and
urban
health
effect
heat
island
effect
contribute
to
warming
in
large
u.s
cities,
including
dallas,
finds
the
urban
heat
island
effect
to
play
a
more
significant
role
in
warming
trends.
Since
the
1960s
and
in
some
cities,
waste
heat
from
energy
consumption
has
been
estimated
to
account
for
approximately
a
third
of
our
heat
island
effect.
F
This
was
generated
from
more
than
4
000
points
across
the
city
and
it
modeled
some
models,
heat
exposure
and
the
potential
impact
from
various
heat
management
strategies.
And
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
findings
from
that.
So
they
found
that
in
dallas,
more
than
35
percent
of
dallas
is
made
up
of
more.
F
F
They
don't
provide
enough
shade
to
lower
the
ambient
air
temperature
and
mitigate
the
urban
eat
at
an
effect
that
we
have
the
area
retains
heat
in
buildings
and
pavement
and
is
up
to
15
degrees,
fahrenheit
warmer
than
rural
areas,
with
more
trees
in
open
space
and
the
hottest
days
of
dallas
had
an
average
of
of
average
high
of
101
degrees,
fahrenheit
and
a
low
of
80
degrees
fahrenheit.
For
five
months
of
the
year
and
dallas
heat
related
deaths
peaked
in
2011
at
52
in
that
year,.
F
It's
like
the
tall
buildings
and
then
emission
of
waste
heat
from
buildings
and
vehicles,
so
strategies
to
mitigate
heat,
island
effects,
trees
and
vegetation,
whether
that
be
preservation
or
planting
a
40
increase
in
urban
tree
cover
decreased
air
temperature
by
1.8,
1.8
to
3.6
degrees
fahrenheit
with
some
areas
even
having
reductions
of
greater
than
10
degrees.
Fahrenheit
and
again,
this
is
data
from
that
study.
In
2017.
F
engineering
of
roofing
and
surface
paving
materials
to
reflect
incoming
solar
radiation
is
another
strategy.
Surface
temperatures
on
green
roofs
can
be
up
to
90
degrees
cooler
than
conventional
roofs
during
the
summer.
Another
strategy
is
to
redesign
built
environment
to
increase
area,
surface
water
and
wind
ventilation.
F
This
map,
which
I
showed
you
earlier,
is
the
1937
map
of
dallas
that
was
created
by
the
homeowners
loan
corporation
and
just
briefly,
you
know
during
the
great
depression,
different
areas
of
the
city.
They
were
graded.
According
to
how
risky
it
was
to
lend
to
people
in
that
area,
a
grade
of
a
in
green
represented
the
best
type
of
community
to
lend
to
while
loans
and
mortgages
to
people
in
areas
marked
d
or
purple
were
considered
hazardous
and
high
risk
in
real
life
reality.
F
Today,
this
map
overlays
the
tree,
cover
the
little
green
dots
over
on
top
of
our
neighborhood
demographic
map.
Again,
black
communities
in
yellow
hispanic,
green
brown,
white
purple
asian
and
you
can
see
the
tree
cover
in
predominantly
white
neighborhoods
of
north
dallas,
compared
to
the
predominantly
black
neighborhoods
in
his
black
and
hispanic
neighborhoods
of
west
allis.
F
And
then,
if
we
put
the
sheet
island
map
on
top
of
the
demographic
map,
you
can
see
that
the
predominantly
white
neighborhoods
are
frequently
spared
from
the
heat
island
effects
and
our
communities
of
black
hispanic
and
even
asian
up
there
in
the
north.
West
populations
are
heavily
affected
by
heat
islands.
F
And
this
map
shows
that
the
areas
that
were
given
grades
of
a
and
b
in
1937,
such
as
the
highland
park
area,
do
not
have
do
not
have
a
high
presence
of
heat
islands.
On
the
other
hand,
areas
that
were
given
the
rating
of
c
and
d,
such
as
east
and
west
dallas,
contain
an
abundance
of
intense
heat
islands.
F
So
why
does
heat
island
matter
so
in
this
figure
is
really
just
showing
the
days
per
year
with
the
heat
index
above
100
and
its
projections
by
this
research
group
and
so
in
dallas
county.
Our
historical
number
of
days
per
year
above
100
historically,
was
31.
if
we
are
slow
to
take
action
by
mid-century.
F
F
A
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
doctor.
So
that
was
great.
We
have
about
seven
eight
minutes
for
questions
everyone.
So
if
you
do
have
a
question,
please
raise
your
hand
in
the
zoom.
If
you
can't
figure
it
out,
that's
okay!
You
can
just
unmute
but
yeah.
I
don't
think
we've
had
any
questions
in
the
chat
so
far,
but
we've
all
kind
of
been
talking
about
it
and
posting
relevant
resources.
I
was
trying
to
find
your
sources
as
you
were
talking
about
them
and
post
those.
C
C
For
example,
may
is
lyme
disease
awareness
month
and
the
cdc
did
not
even
they
don't
even
acknowledge
it,
and
you
know
if
you're
looking
at
a
pandemic
like
code,
we
also
have
a
pandemic
called.
You
know,
lyme
disease,
to
born
illness,
and
this
has
a
lot
to
do
with
global
trade
and
the
heating
of
the
environment.
C
C
F
Absolutely
and
thank
you
for
those
comments-
and
it's
very
true-
you
know
it's
not
that
no
one
in
the
medical
community
understands
it.
I'd
say
my
infectious
diseases.
Colleagues
are
much
more
aware
of
it,
but
it
isn't
in
our
mainstream
medical
education
curriculum.
That's
why
dr
anusha
govind,
my
infectious
diseases
colleague
created
the
first
course
of
its
kind
at
ut,
southwestern
school
of
medicine,
which
is
out,
which
is
how
I
met
alex.
She
gave
one
of
those
lectures
and
then
that's
why
I
did
this
lecture.
F
I
have
a
lot.
I
do
a
lot
of
the
dei
work
at
ut
southwestern,
which
is
why
I
was
kind
of
asked
to
do
this
section
and
truth
be
told.
You
know
I
the
reason
I'm
sort
of
self-conscious
about
this
is
I
I
have
not
contributed
to
the
solution
of
this.
I
do
infection
prevention,
healthcare,
epidemiology.
We
generate
a
lot
of
waste
for
the
purposes
of
of
decreasing
transmission
of
infections,
which
is
totally
different
issue,
but
you
know
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
years.
F
F
A
C
Okay,
just
quick,
you
said
you
don't
have
much
information
about
that.
That's
the
real
issue
inside
the
medical
beginning
and
they
have
to
wear,
and
they
simply
aren't-
and
you
know
just
like-
maybe
now
long,
paul,
kobe
and
actually
long
haul
lyme
disease
are
starting
to
work
together
because
they're
very
similar.
However,
you
know
being
ignorant
of
a
problem
and
ignoring
the
existence
of
the
problem
doesn't
mean
it's
gonna
go
away.
A
A
C
C
Dr
still
earlier,
you
were
talking
about
fine
particulate
matter,
and
I
was
thinking
about
that
as
really
just
like
a
widespread
environmental
thing
that
so
many
people
are
are
exposed
to
just
in
the
process
of
living
and
about
how
that's
really,
I
think,
creating
some
underlying
conditions.
Long
term.
F
C
F
And
therefore,
because
of
that,
we
have
that's
why
dallas
and
then
certain
people
and
community
perp
communities
have
much
higher
rates
of
asthma
as
one
of
the
bigger
country
issues
than
other
areas,
and
that's
where
that
data
came
in
with
the
height
we
have
certain
regions
have
the
highest
levels
of
hospitalizations
from
asthma
and
our
children
in
the
dallas
isd,
which
is
much
higher.
Rates
of
these
communities
have
much
more
asthma,
and
so
it
does
have
a
impact
overall
on
health
care
spending.
F
B
A
See
I
think,
we're
going
to
have
more
questions
than
I
thought
we
would
have.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
shift
the
schedule
just
a
little
bit
so
we're
going
to
keep
doing
q
a
and
then
we're
going
to
move
into
announcements
for
actions
and
then,
after
that,
we'll
do
like
chapter
announcements
and
updates.
So
everybody
please
stick
around
if
you
can,
but
we're
going
to
keep
doing
q
a
until
about
11,
10,
11,
15
ish,
so
linda
you're
up.
B
I
I
told
you
I
live
in,
I
live
in
wylie
and
everything
out
this.
This
direction,
east
of
dallas,
is
sprouting
subdivisions
and
all
kinds
of
things
we're
losing
the
green
canopy
right
and
left.
It's
terrible.
The
subdivision
people
have
gotten
the
message
that
they
need
to
put
in
as
a
protection.
They
need
to
have
retention
ponds
for
the
water
issues.
Is
there
anything
a
foot
that
will
add
a
layer
of
when
they
build
these
houses
six
feet
apart?
B
F
Truthy,
I
think
alex
might
have
a
better
answer
for
this.
My
understanding
is
that
there
is
work
being
done
on
that.
I
think
the
issue
is
that
it
may
be
being
done
to
a
greater
degree
in
certain
areas
and
neighborhoods
than
in
others,
and
so
that
the
data
that
I
got
all
that
canopy
information
on
that
group
is
working
and
others
obviously
are
working
on
increasing
and
improving
the
canopy,
and
I
think
part
of
that
is
you
know
when
we
construct
new
stock.
F
A
F
Yes,
so
she
was
talking
about
with
new
neighborhoods
as
they're
sprouting
up
in
their
high
density
neighborhoods
that
are
being
built
homes
very
close
together.
Are
there
any
groups
or
projects
or
or
anything
trying
to
improve
the
way?
Those
are
planned
to
account
for
increasing
canopy
and
in
reducing
heat
island
effect
in
new
construction.
A
A
The
city
of
dallas
actually
has
in
their
comprehensive
environmental
action
plan
the
ccap
that
we've
talked
about,
which
you
know
linda.
If
you
go
to
our
website,
I
think
you
can
find
more
information
about
that
or
we'll
do
a
lecture
about
it
at
some
point,
but
they
are
actually
trying
to
increase
the
city
of
dallas's
tree
canopy
coverage
to
I
think
it's
30
percent
in
2030
and
then
40
by
2050..
I
might
be
wrong,
but
they
are
trying
to
increase
like
dallas's
tree
canopy.
A
But
the
issue
is:
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
happening
there?
There
are
actions
happening
with
local
city
governments.
I
know
plano
and
I
think
frisco
are
also
looking
at
these
things,
I'm
not
sure
about
any
other
cities.
But
the
issue
is,
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
lot
of
communication
happening
between
developers
and
then
the
city
government,
so
that
could
be
something
that
we
visit
in
the
future.
If
you
are
interested
in
tree
canopy
coverage
stuff,
I'm
doing
a
lot
of
research
related
to
mental
health
and
medical
stuff
on
that
side.
A
B
A
G
So
my
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
a
wonderful
talk,
dr
estelle.
I
really
loved
it,
especially
because
I
found
a
lot
a
lot
of
data
referring
to
dallas
fort
worth
area
that
I
was
trying
to
look
up,
but
could
not.
I
have
been
writing
op-eds
recently,
and
so
I
am
trying
to
write
on
something
that
is
local,
like
that,
I
can
express
our
opinion
our
collective
opinion
on
this
and
get
people's
attention.
So
that's
why
I
wanted
to
get
your
contact
so
that
I
can
talk
to
you
whatever
data
or
reference.
F
G
A
A
Okay,
well,
thank
you
so
much
dr
estelle
you're
welcome
to
stick
around.
I
am
about
to
do
an
announcement
about
or
not
shingle
mountain
the
gaff
manufacturing
plant
in
just
a
second
and
singleton
united.
So
I'll
talk
about
that
real,
quick
and
then
we'll
move
into
some
more
like
chapter
specific
stuff
and
then
you're
welcome
to
leave,
but
thank
you
for
your
time
so
far
so
related.
So
oh
yeah!
Thank
you!
Okay,
so
related.
A
So
you
all
heard
that
dr
estelle
was
talking
about
the
issue
with
air
pollution,
especially
in
the
dallas
area
and
especially
in
west
allis,
zip
code
75212.
I
believe
so.
If
you've
been
to
previous
meetings,
we've
talked
about
our
joining
with
the
campaign.
Gaffs
gotta
go,
which
is
part
of
singleton
united
unidos.
A
So
what
they
are
is
that
they
are
singleton.
United
unidos
is
a
neighborhood
coalition
in
on
the
singleton
boulevard,
which
is
right
across
from
the
gaf
asphalt
manufacturing
factory.
You
heard
dr
stell
talk
about
that
briefly,
but
long
story
short.
It
is
a
big
source
of
pollution
in
that
community.
It
is
literally
right
across
from
these
houses.
There
is
a
high
school
less
than
like,
probably
500
yards
from
this
facility.
It's
ridiculous
and
the
issue
is
that
that
facility
has
been
there
since
1946
but
related
to
redlining
and
some
other
policy
issues.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
houses
in
that
area
as
well,
even
though
it
is
zoned
industrial
usage,
so
it
really
puts
these
members
of
this
community
at
a
disadvantage
and
long
story.
Short
gaf
is
not
up
to
code
because
it
was
grandfathered
in
and
so
it
does.
It
long
story
short.
That
means
that
it
doesn't
really
need
to
reduce
its
pollution
or
work
on
anything
related
to
pollution.
A
Nobody
in
75212
is
employed
by
this
plant.
It
is
all
outsiders,
so
there
are
issues
with
that
as
well,
so
this
plant
is
not
good
for
the
community
at
all,
and
so
we
need
you
to
contact
your
local,
your
city,
government
representative,
your
dallas
council
representative,
rather
especially
if
you
live
or
work
in
district
six,
because
that
is
the
district
that
thinks
that
the
plant
is
in
the
representative.
A
There
is
oscar
nevaez
or
omar
navis
over
on
avayas,
but
also,
I
know
ut
southwestern
is
in
district
2,
which
is
right
next
to
that,
so
I
will
be
contacting.
I
believe
I
forget
the
name
of
that
representative,
but
long
story
short
I'll,
be
dropping
some
resources
and
thank
you.
Leah
she's
been
posting
more
in
the
chat
about.
A
If
you
want
to
learn
more
about
gaffs
gotta
go
I'll,
be
posting
about
contacting
your
city
council
representative
and
then,
if
you
are
not
sure
what
to
say
to
them
or
not
sure
who,
to
even
email,
I'll,
be
sending
out
a
chapter
email,
probably
this
week
that
will
have
some.
You
know
wording
that
you
could
borrow
for
sending
an
email
to
them
or
to
call
them
on
the
phone
as
well,
so
keep
an
eye
out
for
that.
A
If
you're
not
subscribed
to
our
emails
or
if
you
haven't
noticed
them
recently
check
your
spam
because
a
lot
of
times
they
go
to
spam,
but
just
keep
an
eye
out
for
that
this
week,
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
we
are
going
to
now
move
into.
I
believe
so
as
far
as
the
rest
of
the
meeting
goes,
josh
is
going
to
give
us
an
update
on
reimbursement
forms
and
the
process
for
that
leah
will
be
talking
about.
Fundraising.
A
G
Can
everyone
see
this
give
me
a
thumbs
up?
If
you
can
see
it?
Okay,
we
can
see
okay,
great
thanks.
So
the
reason
I
brought
this
forward
because
we
you
know
all
of
us-
are
volunteer
workers
and
simply
for
lack
of
understanding
of
the
process.
Sometimes
it
takes
your
time
and
my
time
a
lot
more
of
time
and
effort
to
get
a
simple
thing
done,
which
is
get
the
money
and
to
either
reimburse
it
or
to
spend
it
on
the.
G
A
G
G
The
fund
that
we
need
is
for
subscriptions
like
for
zoom
that
we
are
using
or
for
the
website
that
we
are
hosting
all
those
require
money.
They
don't
give
us
free.
So
for
that
we
raise
money
by
fundraising
donations.
Now
those
donations
does
belong
to
us,
but
it's
not
not.
A
single
cent
is
in
our
hands.
It
directly
goes
to
the
national
office
and
that's
managed
by
professionals.
You
know
money
always
is
very
complicated
stuff.
G
All
I
do
is
request
once
we
have
enough
money
for
anything
and
then
once
the
money
is
granted,
then
how
it
is
expended
and
how
you
are
paid
back
so
for
that,
if
it
is
a
reimbursement,
supposing
you
have,
we
are
in
a
hurry
and
you
spent
money
on
your
own
and
you
want
it
to
be
paid
back
to
you.
Then
there
are
two
forms
you
need
to
fill
out.
One
is
the
the
national
office
that
provides
me
based
on
that.
G
They
will
send
you
the
check
and
the
other
one
is
a
google
form
that
I
maintain
as
our
internal
audit
like
internal
records,
you
can
say
so
that
we
we
are
humans.
We
might
forget,
when
I
hand
over
my
duties
to
the
next
treasurer,
everything
will
be
recorded.
What
was
spent,
how
much
etc
extra.
So
you
understand
the
importance
of
it.
Now
you
do
many
of
you.
All
you
have
to
do
is
spend
a
request
money.
I
request
the
national.
G
So
the
example
on
the
left
you
see
there
are
so
many
scratches
scribbling.
That's
not
a
good
way
to
do
it.
The
good
ways
to
be
the
right.
One
is
not
exactly
very
clear,
but
it
should
be
clear
and
you
should
have
it
in
a
pdf
form,
attach
it
to
the
forms
that
you
send
to
me
and
then
it's
very
easy.
Like
last
time
richard
did
his
for
his
earth
x.
It
was
so
beautifully
done
in
one
day
I
sent
it,
he
sent
it
back
to
me.
G
I
sent
it
to
and
the
national
got
it
easy,
but
many
times
I
keep
pursuing,
keep
writing
no.
This
is
not
right.
Do
it
again,
so
please
understand
the
importance
of
the
it's
not
for
me.
I
don't
have
a
single
money
so
make
sure
you
follow
directions.
So
ask
me
if
you
have
confusion
and
then
please
do
it
easily
nicely
so
that
I
don't
have
to
spend
enough
more
time
than
is
required.
So
that's
my
only
request.
A
A
E
Well,
thank
you
to
austria
and
I
just
want
to
briefly
take
one
minute.
So,
as
joshua
mentioned,
we're
all
volunteer.
Even
you
know,
we
have
different
titles,
we're
all
volunteers
and
then
I
really
appreciate
some
of
you
did
donation
after
last
month's
chapter
meeting.
We
really
really
appreciate,
as
joshua
mentioned,
any
event,
that
we
approve
to
be
done
in
the
chapter.
If
there's
any
expenses
involved,
we'll
try
our
best
to
reimburse
you
if
there
are
funds
in
our
chapter
so
every
single
year
right,
we
have
some
routine
expenses.
E
You
know
like
zoom
call
like
this
right
chapter
website,
maintenance-
and
you
know
when
we
do
events.
Your
registration
fee,
like
specifically
for
earth
exits,
it's
one
of
the
most
expensive
one
for
non-profit.
So
right
now
we're
good
in
the
chapter
but
we're
preparing
for
the
second
half
of
the
year.
So
if
you
guys
could
it
would
invite
a
little
bit
more
donation
again,
none
of
us
take
any
of
the
donation.
These
donations
and
funds
all
goes
to.
You
know
events
reimbursement.
E
Then
click
the
donation
or
contribute.
I
think
it's
contribute.
Sorry,
click
on
the
contribute
and
there's
only
one
button
in
there
and
all
of
your
donation
is
tax
deductible
and
you
will
also
get
a
really
nice
email
from
joshua
thanking
you
so
yeah.
That's
what
my
one
minute
but
yeah.
Thank
you
all
so
much
and
we
couldn't
do
this
work
without
your
manpower
and
without
your
donations.
A
Thank
you
leah
and
related
to
that.
If
anybody
has
any
expertise
with
fundraising
for
a
non-profit
or
if
you
have
any
ideas
for
maybe
some
different
fundraisers,
we
could
do
so
we're
not
just
asking
y'all
repeatedly
to
contribute.
But
if
you
know
ways
we
can
get
other
community
members
to
contribute
as
well.
Please
get
with
one
of
the
executive
committee,
myself
leah,
simon
joshery,
anybody
else,
that's
on
the
executive
committee,
because
we
would
love
to
hear
some
ideas
because,
contrary
to
popular
belief,
none
of
us
are
trained
in
non-profit
management.
A
So
you
got
ideas,
we're
willing
to
listen
to
them
all
right.
So
now
update
roger's
going
to
be
talking,
especially
on
some
some
really
great
ideas
coming
up
for
the
new
members
and
for
the
educational
committee,
and
then,
after
that
I
will
be
doing
a
legislation
update
and
then,
after
that
we
will
have
a
closing
community
building
event
with
jeffrey
and
then
we
will
call
it
good.
So
thank
you,
everybody
for
hanging
out,
but
roger
it's
over
to
you
now.
D
Thanks
alex,
I
will,
I
will
try
to
go
quickly.
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen.
Let
me
just
say
first
especially
for
new
people.
The
education
committee
focuses
on
programs
to
get
new
members
involved
quickly
and
to
help
all
of
our
members
gain
new
skills
so
that
you
can
be
active
in
more
ways
than
you
have
been.
So
let
me
let
me
share
my
screen
and
alex
give
me
a
thumbs
up,
please.
You
can
see
this
slide.
D
D
D
So
we
with
the
training
coming
up
in
las
vegas
nevada,
which
will
have
several
thousand
people.
I'm
sure
we've
moved
a
long
way
from
the
barn
on
al
gore's
farm
in
tennessee,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
learned
over
the
last
nearly
five
years
now
in
the
chapter
is
that
the
training
program
in
and
of
itself
is
often
not
enough.
For
most
members,
people
have
all
kinds
of
reluctances
about
engaging
with
the
public,
but
the
reason
that
I
have
heard
most
frequently
is
put
very
simply.
D
Parallel
to
that,
in
terms
of
conversations,
many
of
you
saw
chip's
overview
earlier
in
a
chapter
meeting
of
his
identity-based
method
of
having
conversations,
especially
with
people
who
disagree.
With
our
point
of
view
on
climate,
I
was
hoping
that
chip
was
planning
to
to
do
something
like
that
overview
again.
He
told
me
that
at
this
point
what
he
would
prefer
is
that
people
just
watched
the
video
of
the
presentation
he
made
to
the
chapter.
D
D
Another
way
to
reach
out
to
the
public.
Jayashree
just
mentioned
the
article
she's,
the
op-ed
kind
of
pieces,
she's
writing
letters
to
the
editor,
op-eds
articles,
blog
posts,
so
we've
formed
a
group
amy
hunt
is
is
heading
that
up
now,
if
you're
interested
in
acquiring
more
skills-
or
you
just
like
to
write
and
want
to
do
that-
please
join
this
group.
D
D
D
D
If
it's
not
obvious
to
all
of
you,
why
we
should
read
a
book
about
food.
Let
me
just
quote
something
from
the
book
we're
reading
in
the
book
club
now
regeneration
where
it
says
today's
food
system
has
become
the
greatest
cause
of
global
warming,
soil
loss,
chemical
poisoning,
rainforest
destruction
and
dying
oceans.
So,
as
climate
activists,
we
need
to
be
up
to
speed
on
on
the
food
system
and
then
the
first
wednesday
evening
of
august
we're
going
to
read
elizabeth
colbert's
under
a
white
sky.
D
Many
of
you
will
know
her
from
her
pulitzer
prize-winning
book
back
in
2015,
the
sixth
extinction
that
got
a
tremendous
amount
of
attention,
she's,
a
great
writer
on
science.
This
is
an
experiment.
It's
open
to
everybody
in
the
chapter,
but
especially,
I
want
to
extend
this
invitation
to
new
members
to
come.
Get
involved
join
the
discussion.
D
D
Sometime
later
this
year,
early
fall,
if
possible,
if
you're
at
all
interested
in
that,
please
be
in
touch
with
me.
Be
aware
that
that
is
a
10
week
study
program
around
all.
We
can
save,
but
we'll
be
doing
that.
So
with
that,
I
will
stop,
sharing,
alex
and
turn
it
back
to
you.
Our
goal
is
just
to
get
everybody
in
the
chapter
learning
in
an
ongoing
way
and
then
get
out
there
and
take
action.
D
A
B
G
Wanted
to
add-
and
I'm
sure
roger
will
agree
with
me-
that,
along
with
the
new
discussion
book
discussion
group
every
month,
even
the
older
one
is
open
to
all
members.
Even
if
you
have
not
signed
up
and
you
can
show
up
even
if
you
have
not
completed
reading
the
book
just
because
from
the
discussion,
sometimes
you
can
learn
a
lot
and
then
you
can
contribute.
So
that
was
just
a
reminder.
A
Thank
you.
Yes
do
not.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
times
with
book
clubs
you
feel
like.
If
you
haven't,
read
the
whole
book,
you
can't
go,
but
we
encourage
you
to
go.
Even
if
you've
read
like
the
first
page,
you
have
something
to
share
and
you
could
learn
so
you
know
don't
let
that
fear
hold
you
back
alrighty.
So
now
I'm
going
to
do
a
quick
legislative
update
on
some
pieces
of
legislation
that
are
currently
at
the
national
level
and
then,
after
that,
we
will
close
with
our
community
building
self-care
segment.
A
So
the
first
one
related
to
kind
of
what
roger
was
talking
about
is
the
farm
system
reform
act,
hr4421,
s2332
and
again
this
will
all
be
in
the
email
that's
coming
out.
So
please
don't
feel
like
you
have
to
remember
that
by
any
means,
but
like
roger
was
talking
about
as
the
way
that
we
do.
Agriculture
in
the
united
states
is
not
fantastic.
You
know
it's,
it's
really
bad.
To
put
it
bluntly,
it's
really
bad
when
it
comes
to
you
know
the
effects
on
the
climate
effects
on
the
environment
effects
on
our
own
health.
A
All
of
that
stuff-
and
so
this
farm
system
reform
act
is
the
purpose-
is
to
stop
new
factory
farm
operations
from
being
built
and
to
stop
existing
existing
factory
farms
from
expanding,
because
the
way
that
factory
farms
are
set
up
they're,
very
you.
They
prioritize
efficiency,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
a
lot
of
waste.
That's
generated,
it's
bad
for
animal
health,
it's
bad
for
our
health!
There's
a
lot
of
nutrient
pollution,
that's
associated
with
that.
A
A
lot
of
emissions
that
are
associated
with
that,
and
so
this
bill
really
wants
to
enforce
environmental
laws
on
existing
factory
farms,
including
holding
vertically
integrated
companies
responsible
for
the
pollution
created
by
the
animals
that
they
own.
If
anybody's
not
aware,
I
think
it's
cows
and
sheep
are
responsible
for
the
a
lot
of
methane
emissions
which
is
not
as
frequent
as
carbon
dioxide,
but
it
is
many
many
times
more
potent
as
a
greenhouse
gas
than
carbon
dioxide,
and
so
we
really
want
to
limit
those
methane
emissions.
A
So
it
would
hold
those
companies
responsible
for
that
and
then
it
would
also
support
the
transition
of
existing
factory
farm
operations
to
diversified
operations.
That
can
serve
more
regional
markets,
so
kind
of
trying
to
keep
things
a
bit
more
local
instead
of
these
mass
trucking,
because
then
the
transportation
of
the
food
also
becomes
an
issue
because
that
increases
emissions
as
well.
So
that's
that
act
that
is
currently,
I
believe
it's
still
in
the
house
in
the
senate.
A
A
So
this
would
be
achieved
in
part
through
establishment
and
oversight
of
inter-agency
working
groups
and
a
council
of
non-federal
partners
focused
on
taking
stock
of
existing
federal
operations,
identification
of
challenges
and
barriers
to
building
climate
resilience
and
design
of
a
national
strategy
and
implementation
plan
to
address
those
shortcomings.
So
obviously
I
was
reading
that
from
a
report
that
I
found
but
long
story
short.
A
A
So
it
would
be
a
really
key
position
and
crucial,
not
only
you
know,
to
actually
start
taking
steps
to
address
climate
change
and
climate
mitigation
and
climate
adaptation,
but
also
to
you
know,
make
it
more
normalized
at
the
legislative
level
and
so
again
I'll
be
sending
out
an
email
later
with
more
information
about
both
of
those
and
about
how
you
can
take
action
and
like
who
you
can
contact
and
all
of
that
stuff.
So
keep
an
eye
out
from
that.
Thank
you.
A
Everybody
for
hanging
out
with
us
so
far
and
now
we're
just
going
to
take
a
couple
minutes
to
close
with
our
community
building
and
from
there.
We
will
call
it
a
day
and
if
you
do
have
more
questions,
the
executive
committee
will
stick
around
for
a
few
minutes.
So
if
you
want
to
hang
out
with
us
and
say
hi
but
jeffrey
over
to
you,.
C
C
C
This.
There
is
the
land
where
the
water
rises
right
to
the
edges
of
our
mouths
and
we
either
flee
or
become
amphibious,
and
there
is
the
land
where
the
leaves
parked
into
tinder
waiting
for
the
spark
and
the
offshore
winds
to
blow
through
miles
of
dry
underbrush
and
turn
trees
into
torches
houses
into
charcoal
skeletons,
and
there
is
the
land
of
spinning
storms
that
can
shatter
cement
blow.
Blunt
objects
right
through
walls
and
drive
the
