Seabee Days Port Hueneme, June 2007

There's always time for clean air!  We attend many events in Ventura County each year to talk with the public about air quality and what individuals can do to help clean our air. We have large or portable colorful graphic displays to educate the public about air quality.

Next Event: Oxnard Earth Day

Plaza Park, Oxnard,

April 4, 2009, 11am to 3pm

We distribute lots of air quality "stuff" at these events. If you have a special event that you would like us to participate in, give Barbara a call at (805) 645-1415.

In March 2004, the District was recognized nationally for its commitment to preventing air pollution and improving air quality. The APCD was one of only 13 recipients across the country to receive the prestigious U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Excellence Award. This is the second time the District has been recognized with the award. The Clean Air Excellence Awards Program was established in 2000 at the recommendation of the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee, a senior-level policy committee that advises the agency on implementation of the Clean Air Act. The awards program recognizes both individuals and organizations that have undertaken the risks of innovation, served as pioneers in their fields, and improved the environment in the process.

Speaker's Bureau - Coming to you with a clean air message

Public Information is out and about in the county talking about clean air and what individuals can do to help. We are “hitting the road” with video-based presentations to service organizations, businesses, community, senior and church groups. We can show you an inspiring and entertaining video and we’ll update you on current air quality projects in our 25-minute presentation. And we’ll give you some really great handouts too.

• Global Climate Change Power Point presentation. What exactly is global climate change? What is the District, California and the country doing about it? What can an individual do? Engineer Don Price will address these topics in a 20-minute presentation he’s developed on global climate change. There will also be some time for a question & answer period after the slide presentation.
• Health Effects of Smog (CARB, 2003, 20 minutes) – How does SMOG hurt your health? Watch this video and find out. You may be surprised. Even when you don’t see or notice it, SMOG can cause damage to your body. This video shows where SMOG comes from, how it’s formed, and who is most vulnerable.
• A 20-minute presentation on Ventura County's air. Why is air pollution so bad for your health? Where does it come from? Do we have a problem here in Ventura County? This presentation explains it all.

To schedule a presentation or for more information, call Barbara at (805) 645-1415.
