Action of the Month

September 2004

Help Clean up Bay Area School Buses.

Millions of students are exposed to toxic soot and smog-forming pollutants as they travel to and from school. Diesel pollution has been linked to increased asthma rates, hospitalizations, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, cancer, and even premature death.

Help replace and upgrade these older school buses with clean, safe alternatives by writing to your Senator asking them to support the Clean School Bus Grant Program.
