GASP
Working to advance healthy air and environmental justice throughout the Greater-Birmingham area. Our vision is a healthy, sustainable and just Alabama.
Our mission is to advance healthy air and environmental justice in the Greater-Birmingham area through education, advocacy and organizing. We strive to reduce air pollution, to educate the public on the health risks associated with poor air quality and to encourage community leaders to serve as role models for clean air and clean energy development. Our Values:
🌤 We believe every Alabamian has the right to breathe clean air.
🌤 We believe your health should be the first priority when considering policies that affect our community’s air quality.
🌤 We believe elected officials and regulators have a moral obligation to protect public health and act as stewards of our natural resources.
🌤 We believe that a person’s ZIP code, race, or socioeconomic status shouldn’t determine whether or not they can live a healthy life.

This week’s average Birmingham Metro air quality:
53 - MODERATE. 🟡 this is the lowest average we’ve had in weeks.
An AQI of 53 falls in the “Moderate” range (51-100).
That means air quality is generally acceptable, but some people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution may experience health effects.
At GASP, we believe people deserve access to information about the air they breathe. With the help of our AirKeepers, we’re building a community-powered picture of Birmingham’s air quality.

US gov't moves to suppress pushback on data centers by removing requirements for public input on pollution — EPA change would allow air pollution permits without publicizing them States would then need to choose if they want to solicit public feedback for permits.
