About Us

Our Mission: The Clean Air Coalition of Western New York is a community-based organization that informs and organizes residents to prevent and reduce pollution.  Our members enivision a WNY  where residents have the information, skills and desire to make their communities healthy, sustainable and green.  CAC is creating a constituency of citizens that hold leaders accountable for our communities health and creates a political cost for those who fail to take necessary action.

Western New York is one of the most heavily polluted communities in the nation. In the past, we have allowed high levels of pollution because of a lack of political will among our elected officials and among our citizens. There have been no consequences for the leaders who fail to protect our communities.

CAC belives that a large and diverse group of Western New York citizens do care deeply about the levels of pollution in our communities. If we come together, we know we can make Western New York cleaner.
