These grants are part of Energy Upgrade Cal- ifornia's efforts to work with organizations across the state to educate Cali- fornians about the simple steps they can take to re- duce demand on the energy grid and make wise energy use choices at home and at the workplace. "We are excited to have been chosen as Energy Up- grade California Commu- nity Ambassadors for a sec- ond consecutive year," said Brin Greer, watershed coor- dinator. "We are delighted to continue the energy and water conservation cam- paign with folks in our re- gion and look forward to working with individuals in our community and pro- vide them with tools and re- sources they can use to re- duce their energy consump- tion and save money in the process." Greer encourages all Californians to visit Ener- gyUpgradeCa.org for how to steps to better man- age energy and water use, save money and make their homes more comfortable. The district was one of 25 organizations state- wide that received grants, due to its strong history of positive community rela- tions that enhance conser- vation awareness through outreach and engagement programs. "The grants will help bring the importance of en- ergy management to com- munities throughout the state," said Lauri Walker, manager of community ambassadors for Energy Upgrade California. "If we all take steps to better con- serve and manage energy, our collective efforts will make a big difference as California works to meet energy goals." The district's Energy Up- grade California campaign will utilize print and social media as well as continued community outreach. "We invite the commu- nity to engage with us on social media and in-per- son as we will be present at eight local events this calen- dar year," Greer said. Energy and water re- lated articles will regu- larly be submitted to the Daily News and posts will be shared on the district's Facebook page at facebook. com/TCRCD and Pinterest account at pinterest.com/ RCDofTC.

RED BLUFF HIGH Wrestling team to hold mattress fundraiser Tobacco use is the sin- gle largest preventable cause of disease, dis- ability and death in the United States and is re- sponsible for more than 443,000 deaths each year. Tobacco smoke con- tains more than 7,000 chemicals and 70 of those chemicals are cancer- causing. In 2015, County Health Rankings based on data obtained from the Behav- ioral Risk Factor Surveil- lance System found that 21.5 percent of Tehama County adults smoke. This is significantly higher than the state rate of 12.8 percent. High rates of smok- ing have been linked to higher rates of lung and heart disease. For exam- ple, the same data source indicated that the death rate due to lung disease in Tehama County was 69.71 per 100,000 popu- lation compared to 37.87 per 100,000 population in the state of Califor- nia. These types of chronic diseases have both so- cial and economic conse- quences. That's why the Tehama County Tobacco Education Program is committed to reducing chronic diseases related to tobacco use. Whether you smoke in- dividually or are exposed to it in your environment, research shows that there is no safe exposure to to- bacco smoke, even the slightest exposure can be harmful to the body. The program works collab- oratively and is support- ive of other departments, retailers and organiza- tions to accomplish to- bacco prevention efforts. Some successes in the community include two smoke free recreation ar- eas in the county, nine out of 28 multi-unit housing complexes have a smoke- free policy in place and 70 Tehama County retailers are in compliance with to- bacco laws. Smoking prevalence among youth in Tehama County is slightly lower than the state with a rate of 10 percent compared to 10.5 percent. Tobacco ad- vertising can play a key role in a youth's decision to smoke or not smoke. To continue to reduce youth smoking rates in the county, future preven- tion efforts will focus on working with retailers to evaluate levels of tobacco advertising.
