During Delaware’s Air Quality Awareness Week, the Air Quality Partnership (AQP) of Delaware is asking you to try a greener transportation option (walk, bike, carpool, bus, train) to work one day during the week (April 30-May 4). Post a selfie using the hashtag #TryItDayDE to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and you will be entered to win one of several $25 gift cards for Wawa, Target or Walmart.
The Air Quality Partnership of Delaware Mission
The mission of the Air Quality Partnership of Delaware, a public/private coalition of businesses, agencies, and individuals interested in clean air, is to raise awareness and inform Delawareans about practices that improve air quality and citizen health. Ground level ozone and particulate matter (PM 2.5) are both caused by pollutants in the air, frequently the result of vehicle or industrial emissions. They can result in health problems, particularly for sensitive groups, such as seniors, children and people with respiratory problems.
Air-Friendly Business Award
Air-Friendly Business awards will be presented to local businesses making efforts to encourage employees to make greener transportation choices or taking other measures to improve air quality and raise awareness of air quality matters. If you know of a local business taking measures to improve air quality, please email [email protected].
