Today, we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day and honor the histories, cultures, knowledge, and enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities.

Indigenous communities have long been leaders in protecting the land, water, air, and natural resources we all depend on. As we work toward a healthier and more equitable future, we also recognize the importance of listening to Indigenous voices and respecting their continued stewardship of the environment.

Today and every day, we honor Indigenous communities, past, present, and future. 🌿

🌀 North Carolina is preparing for potential impacts from Hurricane Isaias.

As the storm approaches the Gulf Coast, parts of North Carolina could experience heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and severe weather in the coming days.

Extreme weather events like hurricanes remind us how closely our environment, public health, and community resilience are connected. At CleanAIRE NC, we recognize the importance of keeping our communities informed and prepared, especially those most vulnerable to environmental hazards.

As conditions develop, we encourage North Carolinians to stay informed, follow local weather advisories, and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones.

📢 Gaston County residents: your voice matters.

On Tuesday, October 13, the NC Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality will hold a public hearing on the draft air quality permit for Carolina Lithium, a proposed lithium mine and processing facility in Gaston County.

The project has the potential to emit pollutants, including particle pollution, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide.

This public hearing is an opportunity for community members to learn more, ask questions, and make their concerns part of the public record.

Did you know that an estimated 34% of children’s chronic illnesses and developmental disabilities are linked to environmental factors?

Every child deserves clean air, safe water, healthy food, and safe places to live, learn, and play. But environmental hazards don’t affect every community equally. Children in lower-income communities and Black, Latino/a/e, Indigenous, and other communities of color continue to face disproportionate environmental health burdens because of longstanding environmental injustices.

At CleanAIRE NC, we know that protecting our environment means protecting the health of our children and the communities they call home. And creating healthier environments for the next generation is something we all have a role in.

💚 We’re proud to be an official partner of Children’s Environmental Health Day on October 8!
Join us in raising awareness, inspiring action, and advancing solutions that help create healthier, more equitable communities where every child can thrive.

Our EJ Program Manager, Kennedy Williams, recently joined the Lincoln Heights Association community meeting alongside Association President Thelma Byers-Bailey to connect with residents about Charlotte’s Free Street Tree Program.

CleanAIRE NC is partnering with the City of Charlotte’s Landscape Management team and Key Environmental Consulting to support community engagement around the program, from canvassing neighborhoods and attending community meetings to sharing information and answering residents’ questions.

We’re grateful for every opportunity to meet residents where they are, listen, and help connect communities with resources that support greener, healthier neighborhoods. 🌱

Data centers are expanding rapidly across North Carolina. The decisions being made right now will shape our air, water, energy costs, and neighborhoods for decades.

Our elected officials are weighing these critical choices today. They need to see that our communities are paying attention, staying informed, and expecting real accountability.

That is why we are teaming up with Sol Nation, NC NAACP, Climate Action North Carolina, League of Women Voters of North Carolina, Inc. and GreenFaith to host a vital Virtual Data Center Town Hall during

You will learn:
- How data centers impact our shared environment and public health.
- How data center development connects to environmental racism, and who truly bears the burden.
- Practical templates and ideas to host a similar town hall in your own local community.

We will also conclude the session with a ready-made, real-time message you can craft to the city council to make your voice heard. Whether you want to protect your neighborhood or learn how to organize locally, your presence matters.
