Request for Proposals: Air Quality Program Children's Book
The Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) Air Quality Program is the regional public education and outreach program for air quality issues in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The program has worked for more than 20 years to educate and inform residents about air quality issues and actions they can take to reduce individual contributions to poor air quality. Kansas City’s main pollutant of concern is ozone and most messaging centers on actions specific to ozone reduction while also highlighting the economic, social and ancillary environmental benefits of recommended actions. The main purpose of the federal funding for this project is reduction in emissions from the transportation sector through mode-shift, driving habits and reduced idling.

In an effort to further educate residents and share important messages, the MARC Air Quality Program seeks a qualified author to write a children’s book appropriate for the four- to seven-year-old age range on air quality in the Kansas City region. The educational content to be incorporated into the book will be supplied by MARC staff, and staff will work closely with the author to ensure all materials are accurate. Also to be included is an educational section for parents to help explain the messages in the book, which MARC staff will work with the author to develop. Questions should be sent to Amanda Graor at agraor@marc.org.
Deadline: 5 p.m. local time on Wednesday, May 22, 2013
