Building a Future Full of Hope & Promise: Join Clean Air Council to kick off its Southwest PA Neighbors for Clean Air Initiative!
Clean Air Council is launching its Southwest Pennsylvania Neighbors for Clean Air initiative on April 12 to raise awareness and recruit additional volunteers. This free event will feature Lois Marie Gibbs, the primary organizer in Love Canal, winner of the Goldman Environmental Prize and Heinz award in the Environment, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
Southwest Pennsylvania, particularly Allegheny County, continues to receive poor air quality grades. Residents are demanding that industry and government protect their health, environment, and quality of life.
The Southwest Pennsylvania Neighbors for Clean Air initiative will establish at least 100 groups of 10 neighbors in southwest Pennsylvania to educate 1,000 new volunteer leaders about air pollution sources and build their capacity to address air quality issues affecting their lives.6-9 p.m. at St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 419 Dithridge St. in Oakland (15213). For more information, contact Dave Smith at 412-854-8494 or dsmith@cleanair.org.
