Comment | To the California Air Resources Board and Staff, The following are comments collected by New Voices Are Rising staff Myesha Williams and Jill Ratner from high school students and their teacher at Fremont High School in Oakland, California. Dear Air Resources Board, I think it is important to change things as soon as possible because a lot of little kids are getting sick and that's unfair mostly because most of them are low-income. Just because we are low-income doesn't mean we are the ones that supposed to be getting sick. Patricia B. Dear Air Resources Board and Staff, It's important to clean up truck pollution because the more we wait the more people would be affected and likely to get asthma. Keeping California healthy and strong would keep more people out of hospitals etc. Sincerely, Natalie R. Dear ARB, It's important to clean truck pollution because we need cleaner air so people won't have health problems. It's not okay to wait to get trucks cleaned up because the longer you wait the more chance people would have to get sick. Joe from Fremont High Dear ARB, It is important to clean up truck pollution so that our people can stop getting sick from asthma. It is not okay to wait because too many people are getting sick and that needs to stop NOW! Juan Miguel - Fremont High Dear ARB, It is important to clean up truck pollution because people inhale these gases and it affects their health. No we should not wait. This is a serious situation and people's safety and health is important! Sincerely, Zion Shields Dear Air Resources Board and Staff, You should clean up truck pollution because it's good for mother earth, and you should enforce this rule because it affects our community badly. From, AJ Dear ARB. It's important to clean up the truck pollution because it's affecting us. It's giving us less chance in our future to be healthy. A lot of kids are developing asthma and other people are trying to develop new gasoline that won't affect us that much. Sincerely, Eduardo Romirei - Fremont High School Dear ARB, I think it's ok to clean truck pollution, but it's ok to wait because some people can't afford it right now. Sincerely, Tevita O. Dear ARB, I feel that cleaning up truck pollution is important because it causes health issues. The clean up doesn't have to be immediate but it is required for healthier living. Sincerely, D.C. Dear Air Resources Board, It's important to stop truck pollution because it causes innocent people to get asthma. It's not ok to wait to enforce this rule because more people will get asthma but government should take control to help get filters for the trucks. Fehoka Faotusia Dear Air Resources Board, I can't wait for clean air. I have asthma. Every day even though I don't know it can bring the possibility of a flare up. An asthma flare up means a burning sensation in my body that hurts me or anyone who has asthma for that matter. I want people to understand that pollution is no joke so we need to have clean air not just for me but for future children. Williams Varner - Fremont High School Dear Air Resources Board, I live very close to truck routes and I think it's unfair that my people have to suffer from the polluted air due to moving trucks. We need clean air please. Sincerely, Su'e Taugajua Dear Air Resources Board, Well apparently my mother and little brother have asthma. In my perspective we need clean air for other families not to suffer this problem. Sincerely, Jari Morales Dear Air Resources Board, My name is Johnson Vo. I am a 12th grader at Fremont High School. I live around the 880 freeway and I do notice the diesel pollution coming from the trucks. I would want the area where I live to not have truck that is contributing to the pollution more than it is now. If these trucks emit less or close to none that would be a huge help for me & the community. I want this proposal to be pushed into a law. Do not push this back anymore then it needs to be. Sincerely, Johnson Vo - 12th/Fremont High Dear Air Resources Board, We want clean air for everyone. I know many people that live near the 880 and have family members with asthma and I want clean air for everyone because that could be one of my family members! EVERYONE deserves the equal right to clean air. Sincerely, Jaqueline Embriz-Fremont High School Dear Air Resources Board, I can't wait for clean air. I live near the 880 freeway and I can smell diesel truck pollution and I also see trucks passing by my avenue. There's no more time for excuses or delays. It's time for trucks to stop polluting all over California. Sincerely, Jennifer Zarate - Fremont High School Dear Air Resources Board, I work near the 880 freeway and while i'm working I smell the air not knowing it's dirty air. I don't want to develop asthma nor do I want anyone else to get it. Please, I want to have clean air! Sincerely, Griselds Ch. Dear Air Resources Board, Please don't delay! We want clean air today! Don't neglect the health of the folks who suffer daily from this problem...keep up CA's diesel truck & Bus Rule! Sincerely, John Villanueva Nepomuceno, MA - Fremont High School- Oakland CA |
