Cory the Cloud

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors along with its Air Quality Department is excited to introduce the Kids for Clean Air Mascot, Cory the Cloud!


Meet Cory. He’s got a thing for healthy air. In other words, he’s happiest when he’s floating around in a clean, blue sky. From up there, he can see a lot. And what he likes to see most is people making more clean air. Riding their bikes, using brooms and rakes instead of blowers, getting on buses and trains, and controlling dust on construction sites. So the next time you’re outside enjoying the fresh air, look up. You just might see Cory looking down at you. And if he’s smiling, it’s because you’re keeping the air clean.

Keep visiting this page in coming weeks as Cory has much more to teach you about clean air.

Cory the Cloud was inspired by the Valley’s own Kara Lanese. Kara’s drawing was chosen from almost 300 entries to be the new Kids for Clean Air Mascot. As a reward, Kara received a brand new BMX bike courtesy of KORE Bike Industries.
