Spring is here in the Northern Hemisphere! 🌸 Today is the spring equinox. Because Earth is tilted on its axis, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive changing amounts of sunlight throughout the year. At the equinox, both hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight.

🌸 Happy First Day of Spring! 🌸 Today we welcome longer days, blooming landscapes, and fresh beginnings here in the Monterey Bay Area region. As you enjoy the season, help keep our air clean by choosing to walk, bike, or carpool when you can—and remember to check air quality before outdoor activities. Small choices make a big difference for the air we all share! 🌬️💚 mbard.org #FirstDayOfSpring #CleanAir #MontereyBayArea #BreatheEasy #montereycounty #santacruzcounty #sanbenitocounty #airpollutioncontrol
