At least one day during Clean Commute Week, try an alternative, clean commute to work. Any option to get to work other than driving alone. You can bike, walk, take the bus, ride the Light Rail, the Metro, take MARC, carpool with a friend or coworker. If you're an employer, you can Take the Challenge other ways, for example, by providing preferential parking to carpoolers during that week, throwing a pizza party for the division with the most clean commuters, or just by spreading the news about the Challenge through the workplace. By not driving alone to work, you can save money, reduce stress, make a friend, read a book, get some exercise, AND help clean the air therefore promoting your health and the health and safety of citizens in our region, particularly children and the elderly.
Ozone is also a major part of the hazy smog that can hang over the region on hot, sunny summer days.
