Air-Friendly Fridays

Share a meal. Share a ride. Share a story.

The District is proud to introduce Air-Friendly Fridays, our newest Healthy Air Living tool to benefit our air quality and your workforce. As you know, even small lifestyle changes make a big difference in our air quality and also reap enhanced quality of life, improved workplace morale and other benefits.

Air-Friendly Fridays encourages your workforce to make one change, on each Friday, every week. This change can include:

• Carpooling or biking to work,
• Bringing lunch to work,
• Walking to lunch, and/or
• Linking trips.

In order to generate interest at your workplace, we suggest hosting a raffle on Fridays for participating employees. The District will provide Healthy Air Living T-shirts (up to five per business) to help kick start the raffle in your workplace. Contact us at public.education@valleyair.org to request these incentives for your business.
