recourse.

Santa Clarita has some
of the worst air quality in the nation. We live in an area
designated as a non-attainment zone for ozone and particulate matter
(tiny particles of dust that can lodge in the lungs). Both these
pollutants can cause breathing problems and lung disease. They are
especially harmful to children.
Can changes in the decisions
made at City Hall help? The American Lung Association says “Yes!”
Energy efficiency and new land use patterns can make a huge
difference in our air quality and reduce greenhouse gases,
too.
As part of the Lung Association’s mission to prevent
lung disease, this statewide organization has developed a “Healthy
Land Use Campaign”. The goal of this campaign is to empower local
residents to work with City Hall for cleaner air.
So please
join us to hear a representative of the American Lung Association
speak on the link between our health and local land use decisions.
Find out how you can help our community on its way to cleaner air
and slow global warming at the same time.
