It's best to leave leaf litter where you can, but if you must clean up fallen leaves, use a rake!🍁

Gas-powered leaf blowers release pollutants into the air, while manual methods help keep the air clean (and your body in motion).👍 #AirPollution #AirQuality

We're forecasting good 💚 #AirQuality throughout the #Baltimore-#DC area this weekend.

Doing a seasonal wardrobe swap and cleaning out your closet in the process? Sell or donate clothes you no longer wear. In landfills, textile waste emits methane and carbon dioxide. 👖👚👔👗

Big thanks to @temtopus48285 for generously donating 5 air quality monitors to attendees of the Youth Climate Institute's professional development webinar last month. Pictured here is Dr. Grace Sanvictores, who can't wait to use the sensor in her classroom as an educational tool!

Calling Baltimore-area educators: join us at the Greater Baltimore Climate Summit on 11/12 to learn how to bring hands-on air quality data, real-world climate science, and empowering environmental tools into your classroom.🧑‍🏫🌎 Click here to register: thecctfoundation.org/events/2026-gr…

Did you know eliminating just ONE round-trip transatlantic flight a year would save 1.6 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions? 🤯 ✈️

If you stay local for the holiday season, you can feel good knowing you've done your part for clean air! #Emissions #CleanAir

Hey, teachers! @MobilizeFred is hosting a Frederick City & County Green Schools Professional Learning Air Quality Workshop on 11/5 from 4:30-5:30pm.🧑‍💻 Join us on Zoom and help empower our youth to use air quality data as a tool for healthier communities: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

We're forecasting good 💚 #AirQuality for your trick-or-treating throughout the #Baltimore-#DC region, declining to moderate 🟨 Sunday and for the start of the week.

Do your share for #CleanAir and donate, recycle or reuse your #Halloween costume this year. 🎃 👻 🧛

Don't throw your jack-o'-lanterns into the trash where they will release methane as they rot.🎃

Instead, recycle your pumpkins after Halloween by composting, donating them to a local farm, or finding a food waste drop-off site! #AirPollution #Halloween

October is a great time to weatherproof your windows and doors using caulk or weatherstripping. A well-insulated home keeps your energy bill low and promotes clean air—a win-win! #EnergyEfficiency #CleanAir

If you enjoy building fires to keep warm in colder weather, make sure your firewood is dry.

Dry, well-seasoned wood burns longer & cleaner, so use a moisture meter to check that your wood falls into the ideal 15-20% moisture range.🔥 #CleanAir

Here's an Energy Awareness Month tip as we head toward colder weather: get your furnace serviced. A well-maintained furnace works more efficiently, keeping you warm while reducing costs and emissions.👍⚡️ #EnergyAwarenessMonth #EnergyEfficiency

One of the easiest ways to reduce your exposure—and contribution—to air pollution is to walk instead of sitting in vehicle traffic. So, this WALKtober, walk to work or run errands.🚶 #WALKTober #AirQuality

It's apple season!🍎 Make an apple crisp with some locally-grown apples for an easy, seasonal dessert.

1. Combine 6 diced apples with sugar, cinnamon & lemon juice
2. Top with a mix of oats, butter, brown sugar, & flour
3. Bake at 350°F until bubbly

#CarbonFootprint #BuyLocal

Combating pollution and promoting clean air starts with community education. That's why we want to extend a big thank you to our sponsor, @LeidosInc, for supporting the Clean Air Partners air quality education program! We couldn't do the work we do without partners like you.💚

Did you know driving gas-powered vehicles is the main way most people contribute to climate change?

National Drive Electric Month, which runs through 10/12, is a great time to consider an electric or plug-in hybrid car, truck, motorcycle, or scooter. 🚙🔋 #DriveElectric

Many Halloween decorations are made from non-recyclable plastic that can take 100s of years to decompose. To get in the spooky spirit while keeping pollution in mind, thrift your Halloween decor. Better yet: reuse what you have or make decor by hand!👻 #ReduceReuseRecycle

Early fall is a great time to aerate your lawn, especially if you'll be overseeding.🌱

But if you want to do your part for #CleanAir while you're at it, stick to manual aeration (rather than gas-powered) to reduce #AirPollution.👍💚

#DYK most appliances draw some power when plugged in, even if turned off? This is called "standby" draw, and it can have a significant impact on #energy use.

To reduce #emissions & save 💰, use smart outlets or plugs to cut power to devices when not in use.👍⚡️

Attention #educators - join us 10/1 for a Youth Climate Institute #ProfessionalDevelopment session!📚✏️ We'll share engaging, hands-on ideas and resources that empower students to explore #AirQuality issues and take meaningful action. Learn more here: youthclimateleader.org/pd/
