Green Party Fights Deadly Chico Air

>> 75 % of the particulate pollution in Chico during the winter months comes from household wood burning and backyard burn piles.

>> Last year Chico exceeded the safe limit for the PM 2.5 particulates 38 times. PM 2.5 particulates are the smallest and most damaging to health.

All she needs is a few sentences from regular people to give to the governing board who make the decisions that affect us all. We're very close but need your input.
