WELCOME TO CLEAN AIR NY
Commit to Cleaner Air
Over the summer we asked New Yorkers to Commit to Cleaner Air-- and you did! This successful summer campaign educated New Yorkers all over the metro region on how to improve air quality. Now it's important not to let this focus on air quality fade with the warm weather; cooler temperatures may mean fewer Air Quality Action Days, but everyday is an opportunity to help New York breathe easier.
You can still pledge your commitment today.
Check out our slideshow on YouTube to see some of our newest members and what they are doing for cleaner air!

Maintain your car.
Keep your car in tune and the tires properly inflated. A well-maintained vehicle produces fewer emissions, saves money on gas, and means less traffic congestion due to breakdowns.
Avoid topping off your tank.
When filling your car with gas, avoid topping off the tank.
Cut back on idling.
Whenever possible, avoid idling your car. For example, go into a fast-food restaurant to pick up food rather than waiting in the drive-through lane.
