Cleaner Air Partnership Quarterly Luncheon April 17 |
Next Policy Meeting at Roseville's Exploration Center
The Cleaner Air Partnership is hosting it's next Quarterly Luncheon at Roseville's Utility Exploration Center where we will focus on air quality and clean/green technology issues that will be taken up with leaders in Washington D.C. in late April. Lunch is provided courtesy of CAP sponsors.  The Roseville Utility Exploration Center was created out of the city's belief that sustainability is a principle to live by. The Exploration Center is a one-of-a-kind environmental learning center focused on bringing visitors information on protecting natural resources in a fun, engaging way. Meeting attendees will have a chance to tour the center before and after the meeting. Please RSVP to this meeting by emailing Angela Shepard or call (916) 325-1630. We hope to see you there! |

| Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails Holds Youth Leadership Summit |
Local Students Participate in Important Air Quality Research
 On March 7, 2009 students from four different schools in the Sacramento region attended Breathe California's Youth Leadership Summit. Student teams from C.K. McClatchy High School, Rio Americano High School, Davis High School, and C.A. Jacobs Jr. High School all participated in a year-long scientific research project in which they observed factors that both hinder and promote good air quality on their campuses. At the Youth Leadership Summit (YLS) each student-lead team presented their findings and then worked with mentors to create possible mitigations to improve the air quality on their campus.
This year C.K. McClatchy High School had the opportunity to collect particulate matter using our 8-DRUM sampler. The sampler ran for approximately two weeks, facing Freeport Blvd. The student teams will continue to work with Breathe California staff and UC Davis to analyze the collected data. |
