Southwest PA Neighbors for Clean Air Advocacy Workshops

For far too long, industry has been allowed to pollute indiscriminately in southwest Pennsylvania. Elected officials and regulatory agencies have turned a blind eye while air quality in the region continually fails to meet federal health standards. Residents continue to demand that industry and government protect their health, environment, and quality of life – Clean Air Council wants these voices to be heard.

Clean Air Council is mobilizing 1,000 concerned residents across Southwest PA and training them to become local experts on issues related to pollution in their communities. Please join the Southwest PA Neighbors for Clean Air initiative to build our power to advance clean air. Clean Air Council is hosting a series of trainings for current and future participants of the Southwest PA Neighbors for Clean Air initiative. Join us to learn about a number of topics from speaking with the media to major sources of air pollution.
