Take a deep breath of air and appreciate it! We can’t exist for more than a few minutes without it, and yet we often take the air we breathe for granted…until it is degraded.
Our ever-growing population here in Mesa County means more vehicle exhaust emissions to pollute that air. More dangerous, widespread wildfires threaten outdoor and indoor air quality with harmful smoke, and agricultural burning creates smoke that infiltrates our community during the spring and fall open burn seasons. These sources cause ill effects for everyone, but especially those with respiratory and cardiovascular issues, children and older adults.
For nearly twelve years, our local organization has been dedicated to protecting the air quality in the Grand Valley. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we've raised awareness about the air we breathe through advocacy, education, and citizen science. Our goal is to keep the community informed about air pollution – it’s sources, health impacts, and strategies for prevention and risk reduction.
Thank you for considering a gift to help protect our air.
