MISSION ENVIRONMENT Take Action Now and Save the Environment

Scorecard.org is a great resource to find out how your community ranks with other communities when it comes to environmental toxins and pollution. Just type in your ZIP code and they give you a detailed report on your community’s air quality. They are also a great source for general information about environmental toxics and pollution and offer activist agendas in order to protect our air quality.

In one of my previous posts about The Dangers of Environmental Mercury I clearly show how Mercury can threaten our health in very serious ways. Keep in mind, Mercury is just one of these environmental toxins that you can track at Scorecard.org.

If you happen to live in a very polluted community, you should take in upon yourself to take action. Something as simple as printing out the results, going to the local municipal complex and asking to speak to someone regarding the information would do just fine. Remember, you are doing this for yourself and your family because polluted air hurts everyone.

This is the first blog post from Mission Environment.  From this blog, we hope to grow a community dedicated to changing the environment through many different means, such as personal lifestyle changes and encouraging government to make smart legislative choices.  I will track my personal changes, as well as update the community on important environmental policy going through Congress.  I would also like to say thanks to everyone who is supporting this entire “mission” that we call Mission Environment.
