Welcome to the Clear the Air TN Blog!

Welcome to the Clear the Air TN blog, and thanks for caring about air quality in our state. We’re here to show you the connection between the way we drive and the way we breathe in Tennessee. A big part of our pollution problem is caused by vehicle emissions—that’s no surprise. But you may not realize just how much control you have over how much you pollute. That’s why Clear The Air TN is here.

If you’ve spent any time on our website, you know we’ve boiled it down to SIMPLE steps: Slow down, Idle less, Maintain your vehicle, Plan your trips, Leave your car at home, and Educate others. (If you didn’t know that, read more about the SIMPLE steps here.)

The real power of the SIMPLE steps comes when we ALL practice them. Fortunately, we’re talking about easy changes you can make from the driver’s seat. Painless stuff that doesn’t require you to move off the grid or invent a car that runs on compost. It’s a plan that anyone can follow. Including you.

Look for our TV spots launching across the state in the next week, listen for us on the radio during your commute, and look for our outdoor signs. Visit our Advocacy space and sign up to receive air quality alerts and other helpful tips. Check back here for information, events, and updates. Start getting comfortable with the SIMPLE steps—before you know it, they’ll be second nature. Kind of like, well, breathing!
