Students from two Cleveland High Schools, Max Hayes and Lincoln-West as well as from the Home Grown Learners conducted community outreach on May 17 for clean air in Northeast Ohio. Home Grown Learners are worked to increase particpation in NOACA's Northeast Ohio's "No Drive Day" On Wednesday May 17. Students designed a pledge sheet and asked their friends and neighbors to take the "No Drive Day" Pledge and keep their cars home on May 17 and walk, bike, carpool or take public transport instead. They also brought Earth Day Coalition's ABEE (Always Breathe Easier) dino to visit the Clean Air outreach events. Lincoln-West High School's Environmental Club students assisted in conducting energy audits for two house near their school on May 17. The audits will help the home owners find the best ways to conserve energy, thus reducing air pollution. ABEE visited themas well. Students from Max Hayes High School headed down to Lake Erie to hear a presentation from their classmates on air pollution and its effect on our Great Lake. After learning about and experiencing the beauty and value of Lake Erie, each student was asked to think about their contribution to air pollution and to pledge to do one thing to help reduce air pollution.
