The Citizens Clean Air Project is a coalition
of individuals, nonprofit organizations, businesses, health care professionals,
educators, and scientists concerned about the health effects of air
pollution in Houston. During April and May, this Coalition will be
holding a number of events to promote the need for clean air.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to create a balanced coalition of
businesses, nonprofit organizations, community groups, and individuals.
This Coalition will publicize the air quality problems in the
Houston area, educate the public about various remedies to these problems,
and provide channels for dialogue between businesses, nonprofit organizations,
community groups, and individuals.
How we will do this
In response to public and industry resistance
to clean air measures, we have launched a grassroots and media
campaign to educate the public that clean air improves the
quality of life and that both citizens and industry share the
responsibility for protecting our rights to breathe clean air.
Our campaign will showcase air pollution problems and possible solutions,
including:
Public mobilization to unify citizens in demanding a real change
Grassroots neighborhood educational outreach
Clean Air Day in conjunction with the Downtown Street Festival
Billboard Art Contest highlighting these programs and issues
Implementation of most effective pollution control technologies.
