You heard Tony
Arranaga's report on Daybreak this morning -- The American Lung Association's
Annual Report gives Maricopa County an *F* in terms of air
quality.
Read the story here.
Yes, we know,
our air can be FILTHY.
We've seen the
brown cloud and know all about the pollution and ozone alerts and
warnings.
But, the report
also goes on to say the *number* of days we spend with unhealthy air is going
down.
So, it seems our
efforts, like carpooling and reducing the number of daily trips we take, is
making an impact.
But, each one of
us can do more -- to bring up our grade.
So, this has
gotten me to thinking about ways I can help eliminate the valley's brown cloud
and clear the air.
I'm getting rid
of my gardener -- who uses gas powered lawn mowers...edgers and blowers -- and
taking the job over myself.
I don't have a
lot of grass -- so, I think I can manage.
What will I
use?
Today, I'm
marching down to a home improvement store and buying a manual push mower with a
grass catcher -- no gas...no pollution.
I figure I'll
save some money...help the environment...and, get some
exercise!
With that...I'd
like to hear what YOU are doing to help reduce air
pollution.
Please post what
you're doing -- or plan to do...and, maybe we'll read it on air during
Daybreak!
