Dear Friends and Family, Visualize clean air! Our cool cover, designed by CATALYST art director Polly Plummer Mottonen, should help. It's part of CATALYST's "Love Your Lungs" campaign: simple reminders to thank your body's main interface with the world. Over the next few months, in addition to the politics and lifestyle issues of air quality, we'll remind you to acknowledge the work of this noble body part.
