Friday, October 7, is an Ozone Action Day! Sensitive groups, such as the elderly, children or people with asthma, should limit time outdoors. Please limit your driving to before 8 a.m., especially avoiding use of vehicles between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. as ozone is created most during these hours, and after 5 p.m., if possible. Also, fuel up your cars and trucks early in the morning or at night. Other actions you can take may include:

• Telecommute, if your supervisor approves it.
• Bring a lunch to your office.
• Carpool or take public transportation.
• Don’t idle your vehicle.
• If you can, postpone your off-site meeting to another day or conference in by phone if there is the capability.

Let’s all do our share to keep the manufacturing of ozone at a minimum! Your lungs and those of your family and friends will thank you
