A 4 Asthma

A 4 Asthma At "A 4 ASTHMA", we believe that every person is entitled to breathe clean, fresh, and healthy air, especially our children.

Unfortunately, in the United States, asthma affects approximately 25 million people, with the highest rates existing among Black adults. Far too many communities are faced with high levels of pollution, to which many asthma-related deaths are attributed. Asthma, though common, is often not diagnosed and left untreated. However, many of the risk factors for developing asthma, such as smoking, indoor air pollution at home, and exposure to chemical irritants or industrial dust in the workplace can be managed or avoided. The “A 4 ASTHMA” campaign targets communities most affected by asthma. It will provide information and resources for community members; educate individuals about asthma risks; and advocate for clean, fresh, healthy air for everyone regardless of their zip code. Please JOIN, SUPPORT, BECOME EDUCATED, or if you have a question about "A 4 ASTHMA". We can be reached at:

Living with asthma isn’t easy — it takes patience, awareness, and resilience every single day. But asthmatics are some of the most determined people out there! They know how to listen to their bodies, plan ahead, and keep going even when things get tough.
From athletes breaking records to everyday heroes managing busy lives, people with asthma show us what true perseverance looks like. 🌟
So here’s to everyone who carries an inhaler with pride, keeps pushing forward, and reminds us all that strength comes in many forms. 💙

Thank you Thi Mai Anh Tran for your Episode 7 lecture on Indigenous Science and Forest Resilience.

Thank you for being an excellent and transformational guest speaker in Season IX of Environmental Fridays.

Thank you also to Jihyun Ko and B.K. Robertson for co-hosting this episode. You both did a great job.

Please view their short bios at https://www.theenvironmentalfridays.com/environmental-fridays-schedule-and-speakers-bio

139 Environmental Fridays episode videos are also now uploaded at the above link. Please feel free to access, view and use the videos. Send your feedback to dr. desmond Hartwell Murray at murrayd@environmentalfridays.com

This episode had the WOW factor!!!!!! I believe we all learned a lot of foundational information about indigenous knowledge and how to build equal two-way bridges to western science and research.

Ms. Mai Tran used her own lived experiences from doing research in Vietnam to masterfully show how research should spring from relationships with both community and nature. Indeed, she presented the idea, novel to many of us, of developing a nature quotient as a way of measuring our human approach, attitude, and interaction with our environment.

Her research framework consisting of 4 'seasons' is completely aligned and instructive for anyone seeking to engage, collaborate, and work with a community.

This is a must see lecture. Not just once but over and over again.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Asthma Awareness ❤️
Asthma is not a joke.
Asthma is not just “hirap sa hinga”.
It's a serious medical condition that affects how people breathe — something many of us take for granted. For those living with asthma, triggers can come from anywhere: dust, cold air, stress, even laughter can trigger a scary and dangerous attack. Let’s stop making fun of it or treating it lightly. Be kind, be aware, and most of all — be understanding. Every breath counts."
