“Got Dust?”

On January 5th 2016 people take action to prevent a cement and shipping port from being built just yards from the local elementary school in Vallejo California. Tons of soot, fumes and dust have been reported as the initial consequence. The pollution would be coming from 3 main sources – the making of the cement - the 300 diesel trucks that would be passing coming and going daily – along with the ships coming from with steel waste from Asia. The company, Orcem American, wants to keep production 24/7. People from the area have created the Fresh Air Vallejo group to spread awareness about the situation and try to put an end to it. They have come up with the slogan “Got Dust?” and will be proceeding to put an end to this local and environmental threat.
