cleanaircampaign.gifThe Clean Air Campaign and the region's transportation management associations are teaming up to get Mother Earth on track to better health. Be part of the One Ton Challenge!

On May 1 – the official start of smog season – the One Ton Challenge kicks off in metro Atlanta giving you an opportunity to eliminate a ton of air pollution by taking a commute alternative one day per week for the next year.

Small changes can make a "ton" of difference. You do the math:

  • 1 mile driven = 1 pound of air pollution
  • 40 miles driven (the average metro commuter’s daily round trip) = 40 pounds of pollution
  • 40 pounds of pollution x 52 days = 2,080 pounds (or 1 ton) of pollution you can keep out of our air by clean commuting.

Take the One Ton Challenge and commit to carpooling, riding transit, teleworking or any other commute alternative once a week for the next year. Join the hundreds of thousands of metro Atlantans making a difference to improve our air quality and traffic congestion.
