Air Quality Awareness Week

air-quality-awareness-week

Did you know mowing your lawn for one hour with a gas-powered mower has the same impact as driving 350 miles – the distance from DC to Cleveland? Many backyards have hidden pollution hazards that can harm your health and your community’s air quality.
 
This Air Quality Awareness Week, Clean Air Partners is giving away more than 100 environmentally friendly yard tools to help you green your lawn routine. We’re giving you three ways to enter to win:

1. In-Person
Join Clean Air Partners at any of our four area "If You Could See Your Emissions" events, where we’ll be giving away prizes every 30 minutes. See full rules, terms and conditions for the Baltimore, Petworth, and Old Town Alexandria events.


2. On Social Media
Each day April 22 to May 5, publicly tweet, post on Instagram, or post on Facebook how you’ll green your lawn care routine. Follow and tag @CleanAirPartner and include the hashtag of your desired prize: #CAPMower, #CAPTrimmer, #CAPCombo, or #CAPGrill. Limit one entry per person per day. You may enter in any or all prize categories, but can only win once. We’ll give away at least one prize each day April 23 – May 6, 2023. See full rules, terms and conditions.

3. Through Digital Ambassadors
We’re also working with local social media ambassadors to giveaway more green lawn equipment. Follow @CleanAirPartner on Instagram and other social media channels and look for our shares – we’ll be featuring our ambassadors. Comment on any ambassador’s post with how you’ll green your lawn care routine for a chance to win their dedicated prize. See full rules, terms and conditions.
