UBASC visited Ulaanbaatar public School #38 again this week. We visited another 9th grade class, and performed the “How Much Air Pollution Do We Breathe in? And what can we do about it?” activity (presentation here, worksheet here). An awesome group of 10 UBASC’ers led the activity. Some pictures below.

It’s really inspiring to see you guys getting this critical information out, especially in a place as under-served and overly-polluted as Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Now if we can only teach this to people in Los Angeles too. Of course it isn’t nearly as polluted, at least based off my layperson’s understanding, but this kind of information is truly crucial for the survival of humanity and the Earth as a whole.
Keep up the great work Ms. Hasenkopf!
