Sustain Momentum From 7.7 — Continue Choosing Clean Air

Hopefully 7.7 was just the start. Increasing the number and frequency of clean air choices each of us incorporates in day-to-day activities will ensure continued air quality improvement.

To sustain momentum:

• Remember clean air choices and incorporate them in your routine as often as possible.
  
  
• Travel smarter with the help of transportation resources.
  
  
• Know the current air quality index and health effects of high concentrations of ozone in the air.
