triple digits and a threat to health. "spare the air" we'll talk about in a moment is probably the air quality is not going to be great either. we'll have all the details and all the numbers coming up in the forecast in just a few minutes. thank you. a new "spare the air" campaign brian mentioned at some east bay schools. this one involves new rules in drop-off zones. kpix 5's don ford explains. >> turn the key, be idle-free, save gas, save money, "spare the air." >> reporter: the kids are excited and that school may be a healthier place and even the parents are on board. drivers are asked to not idle their cars when pick up or dropping off. you asked them to turn the car off? >> yes. i have been, yes. i have been trying to tell my mom, you know, i'm not in charge of the car so -- [ laughter ] >> not yet. >> reporter: the idle free zone is a school project. while it may appear to be mainly symbolic, the principal says it's an important life lesson. she calls her students scholars.

theft. how our consumerwatch reporting has led to a new state law. >> and a new disease threatens to destroy california plans. how a bay area nurse -- plants. how a bay area nursery is fighting off the fungus. ,, ,,

it's a new law just signed by the governor. and it's fair to say... california parents have a

new tool to protect their kids from identity theft. it's a new law just signed by the governor. and it's fair to say it would not have happened without a series of reports from our very own julie watts. and she is here with the story. julie. >> reporter: thank you, guys. a credit freeze or security freeze is the best tool to protect from financial identity theft preventing anyone from running a credit check or opening a credit account under your name or social security number but for years it's only been available for adults. now, studies show kids can be at greater risk for identity theft because they don't have a credit history. since we began reporting on this topic, equifax agreed to voluntarily allow child credit freezes but experion and transunion refuse unless the child is already a victim or it's a state law. so we have legislation similar to laws in dozens of other states. it forces the bureau to allow california parents to place a freeze before their children are victimized. >> 1/10 of the country's

population would have this protection and we probably get a federal law on the same topic. >> now federal legislation was introduced but stalled over a year ago. since then, millions more kids have been compromised through massive hacks. many are hopeful that california law will encourage the bureaus to voluntarily offer child credit freezes nationwide. now, we should note that california law was amended to address certain security concerns we raised in our investigation. the bureau's commonly asked parents to mail in social security numbers and birth certificates to a po box. that's not recommended. the legislation doesn't prohibit that but it encourages alternatives. we highly recommend that you can a more secure option when submitting the documents for a child credit freeze. >> awesome work. >> thank you. >> we're very excited to say the least. >> thanks. the shares of twitter were up more than 20% over word today that the struggling san francisco-based social network may be close to a sale.

the proof is written all over the suspect's face. sean thompson made his first court appearance on flown assault charges and ordered to stay -- felony assault charges and ordered to stay away from the mayor. there is a deadly mold that keeps spreading in california. the problem is they have no natural protection. but now as kpix 5's len ramirez shows us, people in bay area greenhouses are making headway on developing a defense. >> reporter: no one enters this nursery in the palo alto foothills without first cleaning his shoes. >> alcohol kills the pathogens. >> reporter: it's the first line of defense against a deadly disease of threatening to wipe out native california plants. >> when we go out and put in new native plants in a preserve, if they are diseased they will die. and then also that disease could move from those roots into the natural areas around them. >> reporter: the disease is a type of water mold called [ non- english language ] it might have hitchhiked into california

from other countries on infected plants or even pots. the problem is, california's plants have no immunity. >> our plants haven't evolved with these diseases and they are very susceptible to them. >> reporter: this nursery run by a nonprofit called grassroots ecology is taking precautions to combat the disease. >> all right. great. >> reporter: besides [ indiscernible ] the nursery has taken all plants off the ground to avoid splash contamination. its potting soil is pasteurized and all hoses and tools stay off the ground. >> i have seen a difference in the plant growth actually. i feel like the plants are much, um, healthier. >> reporter: each of the plants in the shade house will eventually be planted in the mid-peninsula open spade preserves but none will leave without first being tested. public and private agencies are learning more about fighting the disease but it won't be cheap. the cost of native plants coming from nurseries like this one has already doubled.
