Tomorrow is the Vernal Equinox. This means we get nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness at all latitudes.

This also means the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Can you feel the change in the air as the seasons are changing?

We learned so much about the impact of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels in 2020 thanks to the #pandemic. Globally we went down 17% in April. It creeped back up during the summer but we ended the year 7% lower than 2019. Such valuable information.#AirQuality https://t.co/Dj6Ocntf7K

It's the first Monday of 2021. Open some windows and air out the last remnants of 2020. Opening your windows for a little time each day can improve fresh air circulating through your home and office and reduce the accumulation of indoor air contaminants. #AirQuality #Monday

Plants are a great way to clean up your air. Having plants around your home can absorb airborne contaminants and decrease levels of carbon dioxide. #airquality #environment #plants
