"Why is Coco Red?" at B&GC of Missoula

A B&GC member reads her book to friends.

We've partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Missoula so kids can learn about air quality safety, and they had a blast! The EPA's project, AirNow.gov, created the book Why is Coco Red to explain air quality levels in a fun and kid-friendly way. Each child received a book to take home, and B&GC staff got kids up and moving with a game of red light/green light to underscore the importance of air quality flag colors.

We really enjoyed partnering with B&GC, who are just as invested in child development as our pediatricians. We hope to bring this program to more childcare facilities, so if you or someone you know works in childcare and cares about air quality, please contact us!
