| A proposal for voluntary "Cleaner-Air" signage, and a pictogram, that we suggest for voluntary designation of rooms and paths of travel voluntarily made and kept as accessible as is voluntarily possible, by voluntary participants. We propose that the Access Board recommend voluntary use of this sign and pictogram to designate facilities in which voluntary efforts to accommodate us have voluntarily been made.
From Susan Molloy's letter to the US Access Board http://www.ehnca.org/www/actnletr/absmmay.htm |
