I think making the argument that it affects people in their daily lives...

You know, it could be their own productivity or their children's performance in school or their children's performance in sports that they're playing outside.

All of this should be really talked about more often when it comes to energy and environmental policy.

Talked about maybe like this.

The level of particulate matter in the air today is above the recommended World Health Organization guidelines.

You know, it's a matter of making sure people understand the consequences because it is sometimes not visible.

You go for a walk and you don't see it, the pollution.

The Supreme Court will be delaying oral arguments until next week because of a high particulate matter count in Washington, D.C.

But, you know, in economics we always say, like, if you have a problem, you tackle that problem directly.

It's much more efficient.
