Eco-Mamas

Over a three-month period, three different mothers from three different towns in Connecticut reached out to us because they thought they were alone in their belief that idling outside of their children's schools was not only unnecessary, but also a risk to our children's respiratory health.

Each of them said that they felt awkward coming forward to reach out to other parents and administrators, and each took a different approach dealing with the issue.

One mother made up fliers and put them on cars in the parking lot, and one spoke directly to the school office. All raised awareness and primed their schools for what is sure to be a ban similar in scope to banning smoking cigarettes in public.

Our hats are off to all of you!

And if you're not from Connecticut and want to work to change this in your area, email us and we'll do our best to connect you to others doing similar work in your area!
