Apply for an EV rebate in Illinois! The money WILL run out. But if low income purchaser & bought new/used EV 180 days b4 Oct 28, or plan to buy by Jan 31, your application ALWAYS goes to the front of the line for processing and you could get the maximum $4000 rebate!

Chicago City Council should move the Hazel M. Johnson Cumulative Impact Ordinance forward TODAY. Communities already overburdened by #AirPollution and #LungDisease deserve a voice before more pollution sources are allowed. #HMJCIO #CleanAir

Well that's gross. Ozone smog has been building up for last few hours and is now orange/unhealthy for sensitive groups. Worse near Lake Michigan, not only in Chicago but also in IN and MI.

#AirQuality in #Chicago land still hitting levels EPA labels 'Unhealthy for Senstive Groups'/Orange - like people living with #LungDisease #asthma #COPD. Unhealthy air stretching unbroken from Chicago all the way to Boston.

#AirQuality pretty bad in #Chicago land last night. It's getting better this morning, but maybe another brush with smoke again overnight/early morning tomorrow. #Madison/#GreenBay/#Milwaukee/Kenosha area still in the red zone.

Still bad air quality outside this afternoon in Chicagoland (and now as far south as Peoria and Springfield too). IL EPA now looking for TOMORROW to be Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (orange) so still health threat for a lot of people.

Trouble #Breathing?? NASTY air in #Chicagoland! Unhealthy (red) everywhere b/c Canadian wildfire smoke. Late this morning #Chicago got labeled as city with 'worst air quality in the world'

It’s going to keep going up very the next several hours. Unhealthy for sensitive groups projected for tomorrow per IL EPA.

The air in this entire stretch, which would take you >32 hours to drive is unhealthy because of wildfire smoke from global warming accelerated wildfires. It’s BULLSHIT that EPA is trying to pull that global warming isn’t a heath threat!
