About the Coordinator
Breathe California’s focus is health. We have made it a priority to educate the public about the health dangers of air pollution and steps individuals can take to improve local air quality. As the leading local advocate of stronger air quality protections at the local, state and federal level its key roles have ranged from fighting for policies ranging from advocating for the landmark 1970 federal Clean Air Act and local woodburning ordinances, to teaching youth about global warming and empowering them to implement greenhouse gas reducing projects at their schools and in their communities.
