Students help Pearland, TX go smokefree!

Posted November 07, 2007 in Talk | 65 views | 0 comments

Hey Catalyst!  I thought this was an interesting article - check it out in the Houston Chronicle:

Middle school students in Pearland, TX, were major players in getting the town to go smokefree.  They proposed the policy earlier this year and then worked to build support in their community leading up to yesterday's election.
