Take the Pledge

It will take the combined efforts of every Valley resident to fight ozone and help us Bring Back Blue Skies.

Which Will You Do To Help?

  • I will reduce strenuous outdoor activity when ozone levels are high.
  • I will refuel my vehicle after dark (or during cooler, evening hours).
  • I will not use a gas-powered lawn mower or garden equipment during high pollution advisories.
  • I will delay big painting projects until high-pollution advisories are over (or I will use water-based paints which have lower VOC emissions).
  • I will reduce the number of trips I take in my car.
  • I will use public transportation, carpool, walk, or bicycle whenever I can.
  • I will conserve electricity in my house.
  • I will make sure my car’s tires are properly inflated and my wheels are aligned.
  • I will talk to my employer and make arrangements to telecommute as often as I can.
  • I will replace my gas-powered lawn mower, trimmer, and blower with electric lawn equipment.
  • I will make sure that containers of household cleaners, garage and yard chemicals and other solvents are sealed properly to prevent vapors from evaporating into the air.
  • I will visit www.sharetheride.com for more information on how to find a carpool or vanpool in your area.
