Climate Tucson: Thank You for Your Consideration
The Five Days of Arizona Heat Awareness Week, May 6 – 10
Day 1. The elderly and the young are most susceptible to high heat. So are those with illnesses and disabilities. Our neighbors who live in one of the thousands of older mobile homes in our city are at high risk. Our neighbors who live in poverty are at high risk. In Pima County the poverty rate is 14.6%. In South Tucson, 33.1% live in poverty.
Taking care to look after the less fortunate is a noble way of living. Being sensitive to others also includes considering the plight of our best friends.
