Green Chips DBA Impact NV

Overview

Mission

Founded in 2008, ImpactNV has served as an independent nonprofit comprised of Nevadas public and private entities and NGOs. The goal of this alliance is to make Nevada and its communities more environmentally, economically and socially resilient and sustainable, focusing its work in Southern Nevada and the Reno area.

What it reported doing in 2024

Buen Aire Para Todos is the result of an EPA grant in which we are addressing poor air quality through an air quality monitoring program in East Las Vegas. We worked with partners from City of Las Vegas, Desert Research Institute, and Make the Road Nevada to deploy 20 indoor, 20 outdoor, and 20 mobile air quality (pm 2.5) sensors to fill a gap in air quality monitoring in the region and to create citizen scientists while educating LatinX community members about the importance of good air quality. The program also included a monthly air filter deployment component and will culminate in compiled recommendations to the City of Las Vegas regarding community input and data on current conditions and air quality improvement policies.
