Picture clean air.
What does clean air mean to you? What are some ways you help keep air healthy?
Send us a photo for our #ThisIsCleanAir conversation about how you help keep air clean and healthy to breathe. Your photo might inspire others and you could win a $50 gift card to a local business and a reusable tote bag made from recycled plastic!
The Clean Air Program will host different challenges throughout the year, so you can have multiple opportunities to submit photos and see if other people's entries might give you new ideas.
Air pollution negatively affects the health of living organisms and non-living things, too. There are many sources of air pollution that result from our everyday activities and product choices.
The good news is there are also lots of actions we can take to minimize air pollution.
