In my neighborhood, and all across America, kids are anxiously awaiting the final ring of the school bell. But not every child is looking forward to summer. Some will be trapped indoors during the next few months, unable to play outside because of their asthma attacks. Like many kids, I had asthma growing up so I know how hard it is to be stuck inside while everyone else plays.

Ellis-Lamkins encourages people to ask questions about why the opposition would have a problem with clean energy, especially since clean energy was a core principle of John McCain’s campaign for the presidency.

Pollution from cars, coal plants, and toxic industry is poisoning us more than ever before. Already, global warming is taking a toll on the world’s most vulnerable people -- the World Health Organization has linked tens of thousands of deaths to climate change. Across the globe, economies are faltering, and here in America, the unemployment rate is still painfully high. Meanwhile, groups like the Heritage Foundation are attacking the green economy with new vigor. And yet, I’m feeling more hopeful than ever.
