By attending the meeting you have shown your commitment to ozone and air quality issues and effective environmental education.  As Ali Goulstone Sweeney, Executive Director of the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education, explained during the forum, "The vision of environmental education is not just about good education, or even what's good for the environment, it's a systems view of how environment, economy, and community can work together."

Environmental Education is happening all over the state of Colorado, maybe even as a part of your business or organization.  It is helping citizens to think critically about the environmental issues that surround them and helping them to develop the awareness, knowledge, attitudes and skills to make environmentally responsible choices.

However you choose to support education about air quality and ozone, CAEE can help you do that.
