We are too young and we cannot keep being hospitalized.  Keep our
air clean!  

Angel from Oakland

I live near truck routes and my siblings have asthma, just learning
from this I learned how big of an impact they make.  I can't wait
for the day when we have clean air.  I think it's time to make
change for the future and for the better of future children.

Medical bills are expensive.  We cannot afford to send our friends,
kids and siblings to the hospital.  Keep the rule!

Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, 

Please support implementation of the CA. Diesel truck and bus
regulation.  Diesel pollution is particularly toxic and contributes
to greenhouse gas emissions.  

Sincerely,

Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, 

I think the "California Diesel Truck & Bus Regulation" passed in
2008 was a great rule with important, vital impacts on
health-especially children's health.  Please defend and implement
this rule for the citizens of the state!  Thank You!

Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, 

I am writing to ask for your immediate and full implementation of
the California Diesel Truck and Bus Regulation.  The truck industry
has had enough time and now it is time-finally-to have clean,
healthy air.

Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, 

Every morning I bike to a school garden in South San Francisco to
teach youth how to grow their own food.  I bike for 30 minutes
behind large trucks heavily polluting the air only to arrive to a
garden surrounded by even more pollution.  Please save my lungs and
my good!

Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, 

I am writing to you to support immediate and full implementation of
the California Diesel Truck and Bus Regulation in California as it
was passed in 2008.  It is one of the biggest steps to date in the
effort to clean up California's dirty air and protect public
health.  

The diesel truck industry has already received several extensions
to implement this rule, leaving communities to battle diesel
pollution linked to heart and lung disease, asthma attacks, cancer,
and other health emergencies.

I call on you to step up and defend this rule, stop the proposed
delay and remember that this regulation protects communities, keeps
children out of the hospital, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and
saves lives. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.  New Voices are Rising
staff urge you to implement this rule immediately.  

Myesha Williams and Jill Ratner - Oakland residents and youth
educators.
