Put the Brakes on Polluting Our Air
 

So many schools and neighborhoods are already facing serious air quality challenges from diesel generators under the current regulations.  Please don't make it any worse for children and families currently affected, as well as those who will be affected with the runaway growth in these polluting behemoths.  Don't sell our children's futures.
