When I think of the outdoors, I picture an image of lush greenery and clear blue skies, which ironically has not been a reality in Pennsylvania for a while because of our diminished air quality and lack of rain. When I step outside, the grass crunches under my feet, and the sky looks slightly orange from the Canadian wildfires.
