I'm happy to see that the AQMD has chosen to fund a couple of projects from the attendees to our workshops on the AQMD AB 1318 funds.   Not all of them attended our proposal preparation workshops, but a few of them did and the total funded to some of our workshop attendees is over 3 million! http://www.aqmd.gov/news1/2012/coachellavalleyPR.htm

I just noticed this on the EPA website. It is the initiative to bring back the water fountain   Bottled water is not a substitute. http://water.epa.gov/action/waterfountain.cfm
