Anne Clark+FollowWhy Everyone’s Ditching Their Cars TodayWild air quality alerts just hit over 10 states, and officials are begging people to skip driving—or at least stop idling if you have to go out. The reason? Ozone and wildfire smoke are making the air super unhealthy, especially for kids and anyone with breathing issues. Fun fact: idling your car for just 3 minutes less a day could cut emissions big time. If you’re in the alert zones, maybe swap that drive for a walk or work from home! #AirQuality #PollutionAlert #DriveLess #Transportation167Share
