Air quality Workplace partnership
Air quality is everyone's business
That's why more than 170 companies, organizations and government agencies across Greater Kansas City have joined the AirQ Workplace Partnership.
Members of this partnership learn about actions that make our air cleaner and healthier — many of which also save money.
The AirQ Partnership is about creating a network of employers and their employees across the region who care about clean air and take simple actions to reduce pollution. Together, we can make great strides toward reducing local air pollution.
