The Clean Air Council is an environmental health advocacy organization fighting for everyone’s right to a healthy environment. Protecting people’s health from the harmful impacts of pollution has always been the Council’s primary goal.

PUBLIC EDUCATION The Council is committed to providing the public straightforward, factual information on environmental issues, allowing them to make timely and informed decisions. The Council staff works to empower concerned residents and helps them fight for improved environmental health, especially in Black and Brown communities working to fight for environmental justice.

COMMUNITY ACTION The Council is committed to ensuring all residents have a meaningful voice on government policies and actions that impact their health, quality of life, and local ecosystems. The Council works to promote engaged and active residents committed to demanding a healthy environment through advocacy, community organizing, and environmental health initiatives.

ACCOUNTABILITY Environmental racism in policy-making and regulations has targeted communities of color for decades, and the Council supports Brown and Black leaders in their fight for environmental justice and better health protection. The Council is committed to holding elected officials accountable for environmental threats happening in neighborhoods throughout the state. The Council works with our members and the public to hold our elected officials and policy makers accountable for the policies they support that harm public health and the environment. We strongly believe that good environmental policy must be based on good science.

ENFORCEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS The Council is committed to making sure that environmental laws truly protect public health and the environment and are fully enforced by public agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Environmental Protection. We stand as an opposing force to underfunded bureaucracy, apathetic bureaucrats, and corporate interests that derail good environmental policies.

The Council is a member-supported nonprofit, and working to address climate change is our number one priority. Since its start in 1967, the Council’s effectiveness has depended in large part on the support of its members. Become a member today!
