FYI

Published 10:48 pm Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Today could set heat records for July 11. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency offers the following clean-air tips:

  • Drive your most fuel-efficient car.

  • Combine errands into one trip.

  • Refuel vehicles in the cooler evening hours.

  • Skip gasoline-powered yard work.

  • Carpool or ride the bus to work, events and outings.

    Little steps could help us avoid calling a Smog Watch later in the week. Keep an eye on air quality at www.pscleanair.org.
