Kick Off the
New
Year Free of Cigarettes!
 As
people across the country prepare to tackle another New
Year’s resolution, Breathe California is helping those making
one of the most formidable and significant resolutions of all:
quitting smoking. This January, we’re bringing our signature
Ash Kickers Quit-Smoking Class back to the South
Bay to help local residents start the New Year smoke-free. Led by a
trained facilitator, the class utilizes group support and offers
participants resources and strategies to quit and stay quit.
We’re there every step of the way as our participants work
towards a healthier life! Learn more about our
Ash Kickers program or click here for our
New Year’s class times/locations.

Bus for Breath Trip
Culminates with Adoption of New Diesel Truck
Standards
 With
20 advocates on board, Breathe California’s
“Bus for Breath” headed to Sacramento
on December 12th to urge the state to clean up the dirtiest trucks
on the road. Once there, the delegation of health experts,
environmental advocates and other local residents testified before
the California Air Resources Board about the dangers of
diesel pollution. And before the day was over, the group would
celebrate the adoption of tough new pollution standards
for all diesel trucks in the state!

Youth for a
Cool Earth Project Gears Up at Milpitas High
School
 While
countless teens celebrated the start of winter break by sleeping in
or hanging out with friends, a dozen of students from Milpitas
High School took on a truly epic challenge: global warming.
Taking part in Breathe California’s Youth for a Cool
Earth training, the team of teengers spent the days leading
up to Christmas planning activities to encourage their peers to
drive less during the New Year. In addition to creating a number of
creative posters to hang around campus, the group created a
“Jeopardy” game that they’ll use to educate other
students about global warming when they return in
January.

Youth for a Cool
Earth program and please join us in
