Plug Into Clean Air Health Professionals: Make the move to an electric vehicle for the health of your patients and the environment!
Bruce Bekkar, MD San Diego “I have driven an electric vehicle for several years and I love it. I currently drive a Tesla Model S and before that, I had a Nissan Leaf. I advocate for climate action, so it’s important for me to “walk the walk”. Driving an EV lowers emissions and reduces the demand for fossil fuels, which leads to better air quality and improved public health. It gives me a sense of satisfaction knowing I’m participating in a vital transition for the future of our planet. Plus, it’s fun to drive! Driving an EV is a win-win that puts a smile on my face every day.”
Sarah Barlow, RN San Diego “We drive an all-electric Kia Soul to work every day. Driving electric allows us to step away from an everyday source of air pollution. Driving an EV means we’re not contributing to gas emissions in our neighborhoods, parks, school parking lots, etc. It’s so important to us to do our part to improve public health. But beyond that, it’s a fun experience to own and drive an EV every day. It’s smooth, quiet and quick! We would encourage everyone to try out an EV. We still do all the things we enjoy and we know we’re doing something positive for the health of our community.”
Erica Batres Lipanovich, PA Los Angeles/Orange County “I live in Orange County but work as a physician assistant in East Los Angeles. That means I’m driving over 60 miles a day round trip to get to work. My Fiat 500e electric car allows me to follow my passion and provide health care to those who need it most without contributing to our region’s air pollution. Los Angeles has the worst air quality in the country which can lead to asthma, COPD and other lung diseases. By driving electric, I know I’m contributing to a healthier future not just for my patients, but for all people. It’s also incredibly fun to drive, zips around easily on the freeways and city streets, and it’s low maintenance. I highly recommend driving an EV!”
