Clean Air Awards Luncheon 2012
Thursday, April 19 — Julia Morgan Ballroom
The Merchant Exchange Building, 15th Floor | 465 California Street, San Francisco
Recognizing Contributions to Reducing Global Warming and Improving Air Quality
|
|
|
The 22nd annual Clean Air Awards will focus on positive initiatives that are being taken to reduce global warming and air pollution. California is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of air pollution and warmer temperatures. Increased temperatures caused by global warming will exacerbate air pollution, increasing the rates of asthma, respiratory and other lung related ailments. It's important to recognize the important work that is being done to combat climate change and reduce air pollution in the business, governmental, educational and non-profit sectors. Our 2012 awards will recognize those who are leading the way on these important efforts.

Master of Ceremonies
| Stan Bunger |
| KCBS All News Radio Morning Anchor |
 |
|
Stan Bunger is a Bay Area native who has informed Northern California radio and television audiences for more than 30 years.
Currently the co-anchor of the KCBS Morning Newswatch, Bunger first joined KCBS in 1982 after working at a number of radio stations in California towns ranging from King City to Sacramento. He was involved in KCBS coverage of numerous major stories, including the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake (for which the station won a prestigious Peabody Award) and the 1991 Oakland Hills firestorm.
Bunger spent much of the 1990’s developing a specialty as a high-tech reporter, appearing on KRON-TV’s internationally-distributed program “Next Step”. He returned to All News 740/FM 106.9 KCBS in 2000 and is heard daily from 5:30 to 10 AM. He was elected to the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2010 and named to the San Francisco State University Alumni Hall of Fame in 2011.
Stan Bunger was born in San Francisco and raised in the Santa Clara Valley when prune and apricot orchards still outnumbered high-tech business parks. He graduated from West Valley College (1975) and San Francisco State University (1977). He now lives in Alameda with his wife Tharon. They are the proud parents of two young adults.
