Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Clean Air Council is a member-supported environmental organization serving the Mid-Atlantic Region. The Council is dedicated to protecting and defending everyones right to a healthy environment.

  • Healthy Communities: Stopping harmful pollution in all communities is one of the Councils impact areas in its 2024-2030 Strategic Plan. This year, Clean Air Council held existing and proposed polluting facilities accountable for their pollution. Among other things, the Council petitioned US EPA to reject Pittsburgh-area Edgar Thomson steel mills inadequate air permit and to replace it with a stronger one; successfully pushed for US EPA to pass stronger air quality standards for coke-making facilities to protect communities; supported residents to convince the City of Philadelphia to take enforcement action against illegal auto-repair operations in Southwest Philadelphia; held four events in Philadelphia greenspaces and trails that attracted over 1,000 people; and guided the Philadelphia Technicians Institute to make their campus smoke-free.

    Expenses $1,382,037 · Grants $89,995

  • Petrochemicals: Stopping dangerous petrochemical projects is one of the Councils impact areas in its 2024-2030 Strategic Plan. This year, the Council worked to prevent proposals for harmful petrochemical facilities from advancing. This work was best exemplified when earlier in 2024 the Council organized impacted communities to successfully prevent the building of Encinas toxic plastics recycling facility in Northumberland County. The Council continued the past year to monitor and organize around similar proposed facilities. The Council also sought the reduction of single-use plastic bags and over the years has supported Pennsylvania municipalities in passing ordinances to limit the use of such bags.

    Expenses $848,718

  • Biking/Walking/Transit/EVs: Promoting walking, biking, transit, and electric vehicles (EV) as the primary way people get around is one of the Councils impact areas in its 2024-2030 Strategic Plan. This year, the Council worked to ensure public transit is convenient, safe, and well-funded. It participated in a coalition to ensure Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) was adequately funded and to prevent cancelled transit services and fare hikes as a result. The Council worked to ensure biking and walking is safe and enjoyable. As in prior years, it organized Love to Ride cycling challenges resulting in over 80,000 miles biked and ran Feet First Philly to make neighborhoods better and safer for walking.

    Expenses $480,461 · Grants $47,846

  • Energy: Phasing out fracking and related operations is one of the Councils impact areas in its 2024-2030 Strategic Plan. So is achieving greater renewable energy in Pennsylvania as the flip side of the same objective of cleaning energy usage in the Commonwealth. This year the Council mobilized grassroots opposition to gas infrastructure and promoted no-drill zones near communities. It petitioned the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to establish mandatory setbacks between wells and homes, schools, hospitals and drinking water wells. The Council also secured ambitious local renewable energy policies that will lead to new renewable energy projects in Pennsylvania. Because of the Councils efforts, three counties adopted solar laws that could result in over 1,000 megawatts of electricity-generating solar projects.
