Earth Day 2020

We celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd, but air pollution can affect your health and the environment every day. We can all take steps to reduce air pollution and help keep the air clean.

Although many of us are practicing social distancing, we’ve created a list of resources your organization can use as you promote Earth Day activities. Check it out and have fun!

• Read the picture book Why is Coco Orange?
• Create your own reading or post a recorded reading to send to your students:
• EPA Region 6 Coco Reading (English) YouTube
• EPA Region 6 Coco Reading (Spanish) YouTube
• Many of our lessons could be recorded and shared digitally or adapted for your students to do at home. Browse our resources for classroom activities.
• Play and share Smog City 2, an interactive air pollution simulator for ages 11 and up: http://www.smogcity2.org/.
• Share your air quality pics on social media and tag us at #airqualityflagprogram.
