Clean Air Council

Welcome

The Council is Philadelphia's oldest environmental non-profit. Founded before the EPA, before Earth Day, and before the modern Clean Air Act, we have been fighting for everyone's right to breathe clean air since 1967. We work on the issues most relevant to the region, so our programs are always changing. Learn more about our core focuses in the section below, and consider joining the other 9,000 members in the region by donating today.
