Working for clean air every day for everyone

One Breath Partnership elevates the work for clean air, every day, in Houston, Harris County and our region. We support and share what scientists, community organizers, researchers, journalists, advocates and physicians are doing to educate everyone about air quality and the impacts pollution can have on our bodies and our ability to thrive. We hope to inspire action to protect the health of our shared home.

The founding members of One Breath Partnership are Air Alliance Houston, Environment Texas, Environmental Defense Fund, Environmental Integrity Project, Public Citizen, and Rice University. Our work is made possible through the Houston Endowment.
