Make the Clean Air Promise to our kids

Make the Clean Air Promise to our kids

The Issue

 

Gov. Christie has not done enough to clean up New Jersey’s air, but after being hospitalized for an asthma attack recently, we hope he’ll be more sympathetic to the challenges 163,000 New Jersey kids with asthma face every day. Air pollution threatens the health of all children and is known to trigger life threatening asthma attacks without warning, and one in ten American children live every day of their lives with this chronic disease.

We can’t afford to hold our breath any longer. Now is the time for Gov. Christie to stand up and take action on the air pollution that affects all of us, especially New Jersey’s children.

Sign the petition to ask Gov. Christie to make the Clean Air Promise so our children can breathe free.

This is about protecting the health of our kids, and after today, we hope it would be as close to Gov. Christie’s heart as it is to the rest of New Jersey parents.
