Bay Area all in for Clean Air Day

From Santa Cruz to the Silicon Valley to San Francisco and the East Bay, Mayors, nonprofit organizations, government agencies and corporate partners were going all in for California Clean Air Day. While the Bay Area may have a reputation for clean air and clear skies, the reality is that in many parts of the Bay Area, air quality is a real concern. And, even if you are in the most pristine location, indoor air quality is often a serious issue.

“Clean air is critical to the health, vitality and overall quality of life of our region. Employers across the Bay Area are stepping up to do their part to improve air quality for everyone, through their own operations and the actions of their workers. But there is much more work to be done to ensure that every day is clean air day. And we must redouble our efforts to address past inequities that too often resulted in unhealthy air quality for economically disadvantaged communities and communities of color.” – John Gioia, Contra Costa County Supervisor
