Welcome to "Take Back The Air"

Facts About Top 3 Neighborhood Air Pollutants

About Take Back The Air

We are a Minneapolis grassroots organization dedicated to cleaning up the Top Neighborhood Air Polluters that invade other people's airspace without their permission, exacerbating asthma and causing a host of other health problems.

The top polluters are:

Wood smoke
Fragrances
Scented Laundry Products
Lawn Chemicals
Charcoal Grills
Lawn Mower Exhaust

Ultimate Goals

To encourage others to join us in spreading awareness.
To encourage neighbors and businesses to switch to non-toxic products that do not affect the airspace of others.
We are non-partisan, but are pushing for legislative changes to protect public health--and better enforcement of wood smoke emissions standards in wood burning restaurants, etc.

Our Mission

To fight for cleaner neighborhood air, starting right in our own backyards.
To spread the word about the hazards of these polluters to neighbors and neighborhood businesses.
To provide information on healthier alternatives.
