Maricopa County offers a good service to inform residents about our air quality and what we can do to make it better. For example, they tell you how to "Take Action": Avoid waiting in long drive-thru lines, for example, at coffee shops, fast-food restaurants or banks. Park your car and go inside. Unplug unused appliances. Fuel your vehicle after dark or during cooler evening hours. Connect your outdoor lights to a timer or use solar lighting. And you can sign up for email alerts and to learn more at www.CleanAirMakeMore.com To find a carpool or vanpool visit Valley Metro: www.ValleyMetro.org or call 602.253.5000.
