Thanks to YOU and more than 1,700 San Diegans from 79 pledged organizations, this year's Clean Air Day had more than double the participation of 2019! Thank you for taking action for clean air.

We were so impressed with the Clean Air Day pledge stories from last week! Check out Clean Air Day hero, Hector G.! I like to do my part by taking the MTS trolley every day to and from work. By not driving, I can enjoy a podcast on my commute to work. I also like to ride my bike on the weekends when I'm not taking the trolley. We all can do our part every day if we try. #CleanAirDayCA. Thank you, Hector, for your commitment to a sustainable commute!
