Sign Your Name: Clean Up Southern California’s Air

Southern California suffers from some of the worst air quality in the nation, contributing to  asthma, heart disease, and other negative health impacts for vulnerable communities and loved ones, including children and the elderly.

Add your name to our letter as we call on the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) to move forward with two critical rules that will significantly reduce emissions in our homes and improve our air quality.

Dear Chair Vanessa Delgado and fellow South Coast AQMD board members:

Everyone deserves healthy air to breathe, and its far past time we clean up health-harming pollution from homes.

This is especially needed in the South Coast Air Basin (covering Orange County and parts of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties), where the air has not met federal air quality health standards in the last 28 years. As a Southern California breather, I ask that your agency moves swiftly to approve Rules 1111 and 1121.

These rules provide healthy air standards that would gradually increase the sales of zero-emission and highly efficient electric heat pumps over the coming years, protecting our communities from the dangerous pollution caused by gas-powered furnaces and water heaters—significantly cleaning up our air and saving lives Stopping NOx means stopping smog- I sign my name in support of clean air for our region.

We must urge the South Coast AQMD Board—who are responsible for making it safe to breathe for 18 million people in the region—to pass these life-saving regulations without delay! Sign your name today.
