Green Design Could Eliminate Particle Pollution Deaths in CA | Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World

Here at Inhabitat we know there are a lot of green haters out there in the world — those who don’t believe global warming is real and think nothing of destroying the environment. Well, here’s a story that might get them to change their minds. The California Air Resources Board just released a comprehensive study that shows that particle pollution — air pollution from vehicles, machinery and buildings — is responsible for at least 9,000 premature deaths each year in California. So, greener technology like EV’s and renewable energy won’t just save the Golden state’s environment – it could actually save Californians’ lives.
...Imagine if their clogged roadways were covered in EV’s instead of diesel vehicles. The air would be crystal clear — oh the vision!

But if you're concerned about particle pollution, why spend $45 trillion fighting CO2, which is not a particle pollutant?
