Overview

Hands-on air quality and climate monitoring program that empowers climate action!

The Clean Air Responsible Schools (C.A.R.S.) Air Quality Monitoring Program aims to develop an understanding of air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change, with an emphasis on science data collection and personal action. This program will engage students and empower them to be the agents of change for GHG reductions at your school by collecting meaningful data with your very own air quality sensor!

The C.A.R.S. program includes:

  • Classroom air monitoring instruction tailored to your grade level
  • Use of the Temboo air quality monitor to collect information on air pollutants, temperature, so students can see the effects of inversions, smoky skies, increases in school traffic, and more!
  • Support implementing an education action project to improve air quality around the school (ie: idle-free campaign, carpool zones, tree planting project, etc.)

For more information about this program, please contact project coordinator Braeden Elenko.
