Other than the obvious benefits like avoiding a pandemic this hits close to home. My dad passed away 2 weeks ago from Pulmanory Fibrosis. A respiratory disease without a cure and one where we know very little about the causes. Better air quality would drop cases, relive strain on the health system and just let people live longer. Its something I want to help with where I can. I hadn't even thought about the obvious step of raising awareness about air quality.
