Clean Air Bath will have an information/children's activities table. The purpose of our
presence at GreenUp! is to inform visitors about the status of the Lafarge
issue and past CAB activities. We are also there to promote the improvement
of air quality in general by informing people, including children, about
what they can do to help reduce pollution. We will also have information
material on government (rebate) programs in support of that goal. There'll
be a clean air quiz for kids and some coloring activity for smaller children
as well as some crafts using "waste" material.
Clean Air Bath will continue to organize events to create awareness about the issues and associated participation mechanisms, as well as provide the public with opportunities to voice their concerns.
