Air pollution doesn't just affect your lungs. It may also affect your brain.
Research is uncovering links between long-term exposure to air pollution and the risk of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia.
On a recent episode of Penn Memory Center’s podcast, The Age of Aging, Clean Air Council advocate Russell Zerbo joined researchers and public health experts to discuss what this science means for Philadelphia and why clean air is essential for healthy aging.

Pennsylvania families are getting crushed by rising electricity bills while polluters and massive data centers avoid paying their fair share.
Tomorrow, join Clean Air Council, local advocates, faith leaders, clean energy supporters, and U.S. Representatives Mary Gay Scanlon and Madeleine Dean to show support for the Energy Bills Relief Act (EBRA).
This plan will lower energy costs, expand clean affordable energy, modernize the grid, and stop forcing ratepayers to prop up aging expensive power plants.
Bring your own signs or hold one of ours! We’ll be meeting at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 27 at Unitarian Universalist Church of Delaware County, 145 W. Rose Tree Road, Media, PA.

The city budget is expected to pass in June, and without permanent funding, trail maintenance across Philadelphia could be cut back just as demand for these spaces continues to grow.
Philadelphia’s 80+ miles of trails connect neighborhoods, schools, parks, and businesses, and they remain some of the safest, most welcoming public spaces in the city. But that safety depends on regular maintenance, repairs, debris removal, and upkeep.
Right now, a temporary grant funds a small trail maintenance crew. Without long-term investment, that progress is at risk.
Tell City Council to act NOW:
➡️ $300,000 in new trail maintenance funding (FY28–FY30)
➡️ $500,000 in sustained Streets Department funding
➡️$250,000 in sustained Parks and Recreation funding
Philadelphia cannot afford to let these vital public spaces fall into disrepair.
