The Clean Air Calculator and You
The Clean Air Calculator and You: Seeing Your Yard in a Different Light
If you’re a homeowner with turfgrass, trees, and shrubs in and around your yard, you’re doing more than just beautifying your neighborhood — you’re actively contributing to the fight against climate change, improving air quality, and supporting the physical and mental well-being of your family and community.
It may seem intuitive that plants and soil improve the environment — and you’re right. Research from universities around the world has confirmed the many environmental and health benefits of trees, shrubs, turf, and public green spaces. Now, thanks to an innovative tool called the Clean Air Calculator, you can measure your yard’s impact.
What Is the Clean Air Calculator?
The Clean Air Calculator uses a simple, interactive mapping interface that allows you to:
- Locate your property
- Map the trees, shrubs, and turfgrass in your yard
- Calculate your Clean Air Score
Every tree, shrub, and square foot of turf contributes positively to your score, reflecting the valuable environmental services your landscape provides.
The calculator’s scoring and analytics are backed by peer-reviewed research and key published studies from reliable, science-based sources. Whether your yard is large or small, it’s part of a bigger solution — one rooted in nature.
