As the seasons shift, so does the air around us—its temperature, moisture, and even its cleanliness. These changes offer a rich opportunity for educators to explore air quality with students in ways that are age-appropriate, hands-on, and deeply connected to the world they experience every day. Whether you are guiding curious kindergarteners or challenging high schoolers to think critically, seasonal transitions can be a powerful lens for environmental education.

You don’t need expensive gadgets or complicated systems to improve your indoor air quality. In fact, some of the most effective strategies for creating a healthier living environment are simple, natural, and sustainable. By focusing on green cleaning, natural ventilation, and the power of plants, you can transform your home into a cleaner, fresher space for your family and the planet.
