Reducing Air Pollution

Welcome to the third issue in our five-part series on sustainable cities. In this issue of the PEN Insider on reducing air pollution, we explore what Ottawa and other cities are doing to control smog, to encourage cleaner transportation, and to improve indoor air. We hope that you will take inspiration from these articles, and share the information with your friends and neighbours.
