Solutions in your community

Have a conversation

Although it is of huge importance to human health, studies have shown there is a need for greater awareness on the topic of air quality in Ireland. 

One of the most effective and simplest ways to increase community engagement on the topic of air quality is by talking to people. Positive communication can break down barriers and involve people across the community. 

Let’s get talking and spread the word!

Join a community group

People join interest-specific communities for a number of reasons. Regardless of the motivation, all reasons are valid, and participants often report positive impacts on their lives through their progressive contributions to their community.

Local community groups offer a chance to meet like-minded people and they offer a structure through which the community can lobby for change.

Community groups can influence legislators and politicians to prioritise building towards a more sustainable future.

Ask for change

Whether as an individual or as part of a group, it is important for your voice to be heard. Air pollution affects everyone in the community, therefor everyone has a role in improving air quality.
