Even if you are nowhere near a wildfire, you can still be killed by one. In the aftermath of a fire, smoke can travel thousands of miles. Hidden in that smoke is something deadly, and it may be heading towards you right now. What's going on? #ThisIsClimateChange

The land of former slave plantations now houses 200 petrochemical plants that poison the air between Baton Rouge and #NewOrleans. What could a #tourism board possibly say to justify this? This imaginary postcard gives one answer. Sign up for alerts from RISE St. James: bit.ly/3GpPLTX.
