WYOMING — Governor Mark Gordon has proclaimed that May 1 through 5 is Wyoming Air Quality Awareness Week.
The 2023 national theme for Air Quality Awareness Week is “Working Together for Clean Air.”
According to a press release from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ), “refraining from idling vehicles, properly inflating tires on vehicles, turning off lights whenever possible and raising or lowering room temperature by one-to-two degrees” are small steps everyone can take that will help reduce air emissions and save Wyoming’s citizens hundreds of dollars each year.
“Maintaining clean air in Wyoming truly ensures the quality of life that we all deeply appreciate about our State,” said Nancy Vehr, air quality administrator.
Buckrail is now providing an air quality index (AQI) measurement on the River Report, linking to the official up-to-date AQI and air pollution reports in Jackson, Wyoming. As of May 3, the air quality in town is considered “good” with no health impacts.
