Agency
Launches New Global Warming Project at Milpitas
Schools
 This
March, Breathe California is proud to be launching Youth for a Cool Earth,
an innovative school-based program to engage youth in combating
climate change. The program is designed to help youth initiate
projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their homes, schools
and communities. Through a grant from the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, the agency will be piloting the project at
three schools on Escuela Parkway in Milpitas with hopes of
expanding the program throughout the Bay Area in 2009.

You can help support clean air projects like Youth for a Cool Earth
by joining us at the 18th
annual Clean Air Awards
Luncheon on April
18th. All proceeds from the event support the
agency’s air quality programs. You can also make an online donation and designate it to a specific
program, like “Youth for a Cool Earth" or "clean air
projects.” We appreciate your support!
Learn How to Protect Your Child from Asthma
Triggers in the Home
 Studies
have shown that the air quality inside your home can be even worse
than it is outdoors – posing a particular risk for kids
suffering from asthma. So on March 13th, Breathe California will be
hosting its spring PAC (Parents of Asthmatic Children) meeting to
discuss ways to improve your home environment. Come learn new
strategies to maintain a clean and healthy home while networking
with other families who are confronting asthma. You can find more
details about the upcoming meeting in our latest
PAC Newsletter! We hope
to see you there!
