The Air Isn’t Fair

The chants of “I can’t breathe” have faded from our streets, but there are many who still suffer from polluted air in our communities, homes, and schools.

Cool Green Schools is creating a network of air quality monitoring at schools across different communities in Maryland. We are offering over 200 air quality monitors to schools so their students can study the indoor and outdoor air quality at their schools.

We don’t stop there. We help students to identify and reduce asthma triggers, how to build low-cost air filters, and how to benchmark the environmental conditions at their schools and homes.

Why is this important?

The health of our students doesn’t start or end at our school doors. When our students learn to identify and reduce asthma triggers at school, they can create healthier conditions as their schools and apply these skills to their homes, where they spend even more of their time.

What can we gain?

Students will learn to study and improve their environments with professional tools and scientific methods.

We expect to lower asthma-related absences and improve student performance.

Our network of monitors will give us a much better understanding of air quality in different neighborhoods and schools.

The Air Isn’t Fair

After protest chants of “I can’t breath!,” have faded from our streets, we can look at another important social and equity issue: Poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) affecting millions of students in our schools. For decades, schools–especially schools in low income districts–have been failing to provide students with the level of air quality which we…

Can we hire him? He is wonderful. To be able to explain something unknown so easily and so adorable, he would help us a lot.

This boy, Zen has a great idea. I went to listen to many speech about “green roof”, but by far his speech was the best. And he is the cutest spokesman as well.
His school should be proud to have him as a student.
I hope he would continue to share his great ideas.
