Using a simple, interactive map, the Clean Air Calculator allows anyone to outline the grass, trees, and shrubs on a property – from backyards and schoolyards to parks and sports fields – and instantly see how these green spaces sequester carbon, offset vehicle emissions, and contribute to cleaner air in your neighborhood.

“This tool is for everyone,” said Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. “Whether you’re a homeowner, a teacher, a student, or just someone who cares about your local park, the Clean Air Calculator helps you see the power of green spaces in protecting our environment and improving our quality of life.”

By calculating a personalized Clean Air Score, users can see just how much their green space helps remove carbon from the air, cool surrounding areas, and support a healthier climate. The calculator turns environmental science into an easy-to-understand snapshot of the positive impact of well-maintained lawns, trees, landscapes, natural grass sports fields, and golf courses.

Ready to try it? Visit www.projectevergreen.org/clean-air-calculator, map your property, get your Clean Air Score, and share it with your family and friends. It’s a fun, interactive way to learn how caring for green spaces – big or small – can make a real difference in your community and beyond.

Because when it comes to cleaner air and a healthier Earth, every green space counts.
