Air Care

Is air quality important to you? Us too! We each take over 20,000 breaths every day. Poor air quality can be particularly harmful for children because they take in more air per kilogram of body weight than adults. That’s why we are committed to teaching Hamilton Elementary School students about air quality, and how to make a difference in the quality of air in their spaces!
