Clear The Air Challenge!!

We moved to Utah almost exactly 10 years ago. I can’t believe it’s been that long!! I grew up back east — in Michigan, New York and Connecticut, so living so close to the mountains amazes me every single day. I have noticed though that there is a lot of pollution here, especially in the winter. When I am coming down the road in my car, I can see a murky haze laying over the entire valley. And as someone who suffers from asthma, I have a hacking cough almost all winter long.

Now there is something I can do about it.

Over 50% of the air pollution comes from cars.

And as a mom, I drive around ALOT!

I spend most of my time taking kids from school to practices and after-school activities.  Luckily, my kids go to a school right behind my house so they walk. But I also have been trying to carpool more. And, I have the cutest cruiser bike. I try to take my bike if I have an errand to run around my neighborhood. Another way I have been trying to cut down on my carbon footprint, is turning my motor off if I am waiting line anywhere in my car.

I recently learned about the  Clear The Air Challenge!  And I was so impressed that I signed myself right up!!

The Clear Air Challenge runs throughout the month of August and it also tracks your energy and miles. Plus, you can win prizes. Awesome!!
