Test Your School’s Air Quality IQ! Healthy habits start at a young age, and we’re dedicated to helping teachers promote a productive and healthy learning environment in our schools that students will carry out into our communities. The Air Quality Partnership is proud to provide educators with free, fun and informative learning activities and resources that teach children about the impact of air pollution and all the ways they can contribute to help improve air.
What’s in it for you? Healthier kids! There’s information everywhere these days that tells us our children are happier, more productive and learn faster when they are healthy. Finding ways to improve air quality at your school and empowering students to develop their own good air quality habits gives them a sense of pride that “they are doing their share for cleaner air!”

We here at AirHead.org see everyday activities as easy opportunities to lessen pollution. So we've created AirHead.org as a tool to help you be a little smarter about the things you do every day. That way, we're all more environmentally friendly, and we still don't have to give up our morning pastries. Call us annoying optimists (if you must create an atmosphere of hate)...we can only shrug resignedly.
