Clearing the Air: Mapping Pollution's Impact
Your Story Matters. Lets Breathe Easier, Together.
EcoSavvy is giving power back to the people, starting with the air we breathe.
Clearing the Air is more than a research project, it is a people powered movement to uncover hidden environmental risks and drive change. EcoSavvy transforms the stories of the community into powerful data that can guide public health, cleanup efforts and local policy. We believe everyone has the right to clean air, safe soil and to know what’s in the ground beneath their children’s feet.
We envision a world where your voice is no longer ignored and where science and lived experience work together to drive change.
Whether you’re a neighbor, a scientist, or a city leader, your voice is part of the solution. We lead with transparency, compassion and precision, because real healing starts with the truth. Together, we are clearing the air.

This is the map that helped me find my path in this life. In 2017, I miscarried a sweet baby boy, and they told me there was no reason why- sometimes these things just happen. While I have come to understand that to be true sometimes, there is a part of me that can’t get behind the “No reason why.”
This motivated me to start looking into infant loss and infertility rates in America, and I was surprised when I found this map. It was the first map that changed how I viewed the world around me. I wanted to understand why infertility rates are higher in the south, in our farming states, or along waterways. I decided I had to go to college to understand the science behind it.
Who would have known I’d learn to make these maps one day?
Now, I have launched my “Clearing the Air” environmental risk survey because I want to know if there are factors at play that are causing us to lose our babies with “no reason why.”
I believe there are more reasons then we know, maybe it’s that we grew up playing in mining waste or living in a factory hub.
If you haven’t already, please consider taking my survey.
