Clean Air Day
Every day is a good day to appreciate clean air, but on Clean Air Day we take extra time to recognize the importance of clean air and how we can all help keep our air clean.
The first step is understanding why it's important. Our planet's health depends on healthy air, and when our air is polluted it can cause serious health problems for people, plants, and animals.
We can all do our part to reduce pollution by making small changes in the way we live: driving less, walking or biking more; using public transportation or carpooling; turning off electronics when they're not in use; composting food waste instead of throwing it away; recycling paper, plastic and metal products. These are just a few examples - there are many more ways we can help!
Another important way to protect our environment is by supporting laws that protect clean air resources. You can learn about these laws and how you can get involved at www.airnow.gov . We need everyone’s support to keep our planet healthy for generations to come!
