Every school day, children walk into a shared room and breathe the same air. Who decides what that air is like?
The Air We Share (working title) is a new 10 minute short from Wail of a Tale Productions. It places real stories beside published research on repeat COVID infection in children and adults, and on the standard that exists for cleaner air in schools.

Air and learning belong in the same conversation. Congress already put them there. The next step is simple: measure the air in classrooms and share what it shows.

Thank you, Ohio Arts Council! Our short film The Air We Share (working title) is now streaming. It's about the air our kids breathe at school, and what we owe them.

Congress wrote students into the law. The World Trade Center Health Program covers people who lived, worked, or went to school in the disaster area. The 2010 law provides care for covered conditions with no deductibles or copays.
The students of 2001 are grown now. In today's classrooms, a carbon dioxide monitor can show a number no one in the room has been taught to read. Nobody is hiding it. The country never built the habit of asking. That question sits at the heart of The Air We Share, from Wail of a Tale Productions.

The dust after 9/11 reached schools. In the weeks that followed, EPA tested dust inside Stuyvesant High School and Public School 234. The public record keeps that history for all of us to learn from.

Watch the full session: What Clean Air Returns: And What It Saves
Thank you to everyone who joined the clean air seminars this summer and fall.
The full September 22 recording is now available. It has all of the latest research and updates. It covers three benefit-cost models, one federal, one for Maryland, and one for the Kokomo School Corporation. Each one shows what cleaner indoor air costs and what it saves in sick days, substitute coverage, and learning time.
Want a model built for your district, state, or organization? Send a message.
