National Clean Air Month is a yearly observance held throughout May to raise awareness about the importance of clean air and encourage people to combat air pollution. This initiative began in the United States in 1972 to promote environmental protection and conservation. Since then, National Clean Air Month has become an international event that brings individuals, organizations, and businesses together to work towards cleaner air for all.
At Anago, cleaning is our business! And we’re focused on the cleanliness of your office, medical facility, school, or retail store and the air quality. Poor air quality can have significant health impacts and damage the environment, making it crucial for businesses to participate in this effort.
Businesses can do much to raise awareness about the importance of clean air and promote environmentally friendly practices. One idea is encouraging employees to carpool, bike, or walk to work. Providing incentives such as preferred parking spots or wellness program points can motivate employees to participate in these activities. Another idea is to promote telecommuting or flexible work schedules, which can reduce the number of vehicles on the roads and decrease emissions.
Businesses can also organize a company-wide clean-up day where employees pick up litter and debris in the surrounding area. Companies can also invest in air-purifying plants for their offices. Consider organizing a day to plant trees outside the office, at a nearby park, or at employees’ homes. Trees remove air pollution by the interception of matter on plant surfaces and by absorbing gaseous pollutants through leaf stomata. Plus, digging in the dirt and planting a tree is just fun!
Another idea is to switch to environmentally friendly cleaning products. This benefits the environment and promotes a healthier workplace for employees. Anago’s Green Cleaning Initiative is popular with clients and is designed to reduce the health and environmental concerns about the cleaning services in your building.
