Thank you to everyone who shared our posts &/or contributed to our Earth Day fundraiser last Monday!

We were able to start the day at $1,140 & ended the day at $2,300, thanks to 22 folks & $400 in matching funds from a generous MN Tool Library donor!
On a white background, in the center of the slide is a fundraising thermometer, filled in red with our initial pre-Earth Day progress of $1140, lighter blue for the 22 earth day gifts we received, and a darker blue for the $400 in matching funds donated, for a total of $2300/$3000. To the left of the thermometer, text reads (from top down) "Double the Donation - Matching Gift + $200 of High Five Matches + 22 Earth Day Gifts + Clean Air Goal Progress. Thank you for supporting clean air!" On the right side of the thermometer, from the top down, is an AloAir air scrubber, the MN Tool Library logo, and a Smart Air Mini MK II air purifier. On a light blue background there is a screen capture from our fundraising page on GiveMN showing our $2300 out of $3000 fundraised, with graphics of lungs made out of flowers in the top right and bottom left.

A Guide to Choosing An Air Purifier, with a specific focus on an 'ACH' or air changes per hour standard, vs an 'L/P/S' or a liters (of air) per person per second standard, why we prefer a L/p/s standard, and a reminder that noise is one of the most overlooked parts of choosing an air purifier! 1/10

Ever bring an air purifier to an event only to have someone turn it off or turn it down?

It's important to get an air purifier that is big enough to reduce virus-containing aerosols & other pollutants to safer levels in a reasonable amount of time and that can maintain those low levels. (1/7)
The background image is of a minimalist living room with white walls and three blue couches forming a U shape. The text at the top of the image reads "Choosing the right air purifier for your space. Featuring cleanairstars.com" In the lower foreground, from left to right, there is a small white air purifier, and medium black air air purifier, and a large white air purifier.
