About the Clean Air Trust

THE CLEAN AIR TRUST was incorporated in 1995 as a 501 (c)(4) nonprofit organization by former Senators Edmund Muskie of Maine and Robert Stafford of Vermont. The Trust was created to educate the public and policymakers about the value of the Clean Air Act, to promote effective enforcement of the Act through grassroots education, and to defend the Act against attack by special interest polluters.
