| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2004 October | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The direct exposure of children to particulate matter emissions, resulting from the combustion of diesel fuel, led to the creation of the Illinois Clean School Bus Program last year. The Clean School Bus Program provides funding to assist schools and school districts to reduce emissions from diesel-powered school buses. But perhaps the easiest thing that schools can do to reduce emissions is to create and enforce an anti-idling policy. Hear from school districts in Illinois who have taken a pro-active approach to stop school bus idling.

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2004 February | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | According to the most recent data, landfill capacity in the state remains adequate with an average of 13 years of space remaining.

This increase in space is due in part to the vigorous recycling efforts of municipalities and citizens, in addition to several programs administered by the Illinois EPA that divert waste from landfills. Learn about the Used Tire Program and the Industrial Material Exchange Service, two IEPA efforts that reduce the amount of unnecessary waste going into state landfills.
