Clean Air Council

About us

The Council is Philadelphia's oldest environmental non-profit. Founded before the EPA, before Earth Day, and before the modern Clean Air Act, we have been fighting for everyone's right to breathe clean air since 1967. We work on the issues most relevant to the region, so our programs are always changing. 
The Clean Air Council is an environmental health advocacy organization fighting for everyone’s right to a healthy environment. Protecting people’s health from the harmful impacts of pollution has always been the Council’s  primary goal.

PUBLIC EDUCATION   The Council is committed to providing  the public straightforward, factual information on environmental issues, allowing them to make timely and informed decisions. The Council  staff works to empower concerned residents and helps them fight for improved environmental health, especially in Black and Brown communities working to fight for environmental justice.
