School children across the Southland now know how good (or bad) the air they're breathing is with dozens of local schools now hoisting flags notifying residents about air quality on campus flagpoles. The banners -- from green (good) to purple (very unhealthy) -- are part of an two-year
South Coast AQMD pilot program, and will wave just below Old Glory and the California Grizzlie Bear.
Providencia Elementary in Burbank was among the first to raise the flag this morning in a ceremony with county Supervisor Mike Antonovich.
It was green. Feel free to inhale until tomorrow. Click here for a full-size PDF of the smog guide.
