Overview
Overview
Clean Air Counts is an innovative, non-regulatory approach to reducing smog-causing
emissions in the Chicago metropolitan region to achieve compliance with
standards of the federal Clean Air Act.
Outreach is to audiences not traditionally targeted by regulations,
and is targeted at specific constituencies:
- Businesses, Industries, and Institutions
- Municipal Governments
- Developers,
Architectural Services, and Property Managers
- Households
- Other
Governing and Taxing Bodies
Joining Clean Air Counts means individuals
and/or organizations
are making a commitment to undertake voluntary efforts to reduce
smog in the Chicago region. CAC adopters assess opportunities to reduce
emissions and conserve
energy in areas related to transportation, energy, operations and
maintenance,
and development. Adopters also agree to simple, annual reporting
about their reduction strategies so that the Campaign can quantify members� efforts.
Funded by a network of local foundations and federal appropriations,
Clean Air Counts
is managed by the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus.
