Clean Air Day for Individuals 

Why Celebrate Clean Air Day

Every year on the first Wednesday of June, Clean Air Day activities will be taking place in communities across the country to recognize everyone’s efforts in promoting clean air! 

Everyone is encouraged to participate — individuals, families, community groups, organizations, schools and workplaces — to demonstrate their commitment to improve the air we all share. Even events held outside of the specific timeframe can still be connected to Clean Air Day. We should all be working towards protecting the air we breathe all year round!
