CLEAN AIR
THIS AIR IS YOUR AIR
Inversion. The Red Days. Emphysema. Lung issues. Our transportation is directly tied to the air we breathe. Owning an electric vehicle impacts this valley's lungs. You, your family, and your neighbors breathe better as a result of the decision to Live Electric.
Here's how to connect with Western clean air organizations and be a clean-air citizen.

AIR AWARE SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Since its inception in 2010, Breathe Utah has brought the Air Aware program to over 10,000 students in grades pre-K through 12th, teaching students what air pollution is, where it comes from, how it affects the human body, and what we can do about it. Air Aware is an interactive presentation tailored to each grade level and can be delivered to individual classrooms or grade-wide assemblies.
