Ms. Alston assisted in the convening of the historic First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in 1991.

I think it's a good idea.
We need to make contact with powerful people who really work for the environment. To do this, the only thing I suggest is to send this writing to anyone who is considered intelligent and knows how to value its content, like you; until a critical mass is formed, so that thousands of people make a call to whomever it may concern since the carbon monoxide filter is operational (it works); It is only a matter of installing the device, taking the vehicle to an emissions test and you will see the result. Why do none of the people who work in more than 500 environmental institutions that have received the letter ask me for information about it? Aren't you curious about the result?
At the Ministry of the Environment in my country they told me that they don't have a budget...
I believe it is a general lack of awareness, but I refuse to believe that 100% of the population is unaware. Remember that the consequences of air pollution are suffered by all inhabitants of the planet, including themselves.
