Care for our Air

Why should we care about our air? For many reasons, the most obvious one is to protect our health. Did you know that our lungs filter about 2,000 gallons of air each day? That’s enough to fill a regular-sized swimming pool!

So, where does air pollution come from? The majority of air pollution comes from individual actions. Only about 20% of air pollution in Spokane County comes from industry.

The daily choices we make, like how we heat our homes, how we travel around town, what products we purchase, and other choices can affect air quality. We all play a role in protecting and preserving our precious air.
