WELCOME TO THE CLEAN AIR PARTNERSHIP OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE
The Clean Air Partnership is a non-profit air quality alert program for the residents of Middle Tennessee communities. In addition to providing air quality alerts, our goal is to educate people about air quality and the small steps they can take to make a difference, for example:
- Try trip chaining. Combine errands and reduce or postpone trips in your car. Making one trip in the car to take care of several errands will help conserve gas and reduce pollution.
- Skip the drive-thru and go inside. This reduces the amount of time your car is idling, which in turn reduces the amount of wasted gas and air pollution your car is emitting.
- Carpool to work once a week. If everyone did this, one of our largest pollution sources would be cut by 20 percent!
Improving our air quality can be easy. You don’t have to completely change your lifestyle. By making small changes in your daily habits, you can make a big difference.
If you would like to know more about how you, your family, or your employer can become a Clean Air Partner and help improve our air and quality of life, you’ve come to the right place.
On this site, you’ll find a lot of information about air pollution: what it is, how it can be prevented, and the local resources that are available to help you make a difference.
We also have a program in place with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where you can sign up for EnviroFlash e-mails or text messages, which will give you regional air quality forecasts and alerts. These messages will help you make decisions about how you can lessen your impact on bad air quality days by carpooling to work with a friend or taking the bus on an air quality alert day – after all, the fewer cars on the roads, the better the air quality.
We want to help Middle Tennesseans take small steps to improve one of the most important – but often overlooked – aspects of our daily lives: The air we breathe.
We’d love to hear from you, so if you have any questions or comments, please contact us.
