Clean Air Awards are coming

Do you know someone who has made the air we breathe in the Bay Area cleaner and better for all?  Don’t wait, nominate them for a Clean Air Award by the deadline of March 14, 2008.

Hosted by the 100-year-old Breathe California organization, the Clean Air Awards honor businesses, organizations, and individuals who are committed to improving air quality and reducing global warming. Breathe California is the oldest voluntary health organization in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bookmark the date April 18, 2008 for the Clean Air Awards Ceremony 2008 in The Carnelian Room in San Francisco with a spectacular view and a special keynote address by Mary Nichols, the new chairman of the influential California Air Resources Board (CARB).  www.cleanairawards.org

As a Clean Air Award winner in Public Awareness for Heart of Green, I will be participating again year. I look forward to Mary Nichol’s remarks on how the state of California is addressing global warming. I encourage Heart of Green readers to submit nominations and look forward to seeing you at the luncheon above the clouds.

And remember, if you are sitting in traffic and you are bored, you can always spice things up by reporting cars with dirty exhaust to the 1-800-EXHAUST line or online at www.800exhaust.org. It is less dangerous than texting; just don’t let the offending car see you memorizing their license plate.
