Firefly Brigade
"The fireflies have fled the city because they could not stand its dirty air. All of us cyclists, pedestrians, commuters, even those who ride cars who live, work and raise families in the city may suffer the same fate. We continue to dirty our city's air with polluting vehicles and factories. As a result, we also risk disappearing like the fireflies."
Why resign ourselves to this fate? We have a choice. We can fight for clean air and bring the fireflies back.
