California Clean Air Day is all about people taking action.
We’re thrilled that so many Californians came together this year – over 1.6 million Californians completed over 3.1 million actions to clear the air!
And Californians who pledged to clear the air followed through: 94% completed at least one of their pledge actions. Check out more stats from California Clean Air Day 2020 below, and save the date: the next California Clean Air Day will be on October 6, 2021!

We’d like to share some of those with you here:

Our home and car cabin air filters are critical to clean air in your house and car - but only if they're clean. Here are air filters @joe_lyou and @el_chaveezy replaced - go check yours and post a pic of it in this thread! pic.twitter.com/2s8kEPtidU
