WHO: Breathe Life – The Walk Home?

"Breathe Life, The Walk Home" is a fun way for people to help make air cleaner by walking instead of driving.

Imagine you’re going home from school, and instead of getting into a car with your mom or dad, you take a nice long walk. Every time you walk, you're helping the air stay fresh because cars usually puff out smoke that can make it harder to breathe. It's like when you blow on a hot cup of cocoa, the steam makes the air around it move. Cars do something similar but with more smoke.

Now imagine everyone in your neighborhood does this too, walking instead of driving, and all that extra clean air helps people, especially kids, feel better and stay healthier. It's like giving the whole city a big, fresh breath!
