All California Mayors are invited to partner with us for Coalition for Clean Air’s inaugural California Clean Air Day on October 3, 2018.

The Coalition for Clean Air will host its first California Clean Air Day on Wednesday, October 3, 2018, and we invite all California Mayors to join the effort as part of our Clean Air Day Mayor’s Council. The goal of Clean Air Day is to build awareness among California residents of air quality and what can be done individually to help mitigate those risks. Our ask of you is to take the “Clean Air Pledge” and promote California Clean Air Day by engaging to your constituents and encouraging your city council to pass a resolution in support of clean air.  Look for an updated list of confirmed Mayors here in the weeks and months to come.

The Coalition for Clean Air has made strides to push California to improve air quality since their inception in 1971, however, there is still more work to be done. California’s under-served communities face greater air quality issues. Children living in highly polluted areas operate at eighty percent or less in lung capacity resulting in an increase of asthma. Air pollution is responsible for one million school absences annually in California and 16,000 American die from lung cancer having never smoked in their lifetime. Depending on the location, Californians may lose nearly a year in life expectancy due to air pollution.

Every California city truly weaves the state together as the Golden State.  With your help, we can raise enough awareness to combat the air quality issues our communities are facing.
