The Speaking of Travel + Climate Listening Project Series with Dayna Reggero continues with special guest, Veronica Butcher, joining us from Mothers and Others for Clean Air (M&O). M&O is a unique partnership of leading public health and child advocacy organizations working to advance public policy to improve air quality and fight climate change in order to reduce the effects of air pollution on public health, especially children’s health. M&O works to reduce pollution from transportation and other sources and promote clean renewable energy sources, energy-efficiency and conservation.

To unite new partners and to have more of an impact, M&O is expanding throughout the Southeast and now has staff in both Georgia and North Carolina.

M&O and its partners are working to reduce pollution from coal-fired power plants, cars, trucks, building and industrial energy use, and promote clean renewable energy sources, energy-efficiency and conservation.

Veronica Butcher has over 19 years of advocacy and policy experience on the national and state levels. She served as Policy Advisor on Energy & Environment to Governor Beverly Perdue, the first woman Governor of North Carolina.
