While it’s true that large factories and industry contribute to pollutants, the majority of pollution is caused by everyday activities. From how you commute, heat and cool your home, and use energy, to the products you buy and the way you care for your yard, each choice matters. We can all change our habits to take care of our air in the Kansas City region.
Vehicles are a major contributor to emissions. There are many things you can do, both big and small, to reduce the impact.
It's not just vehicles that produce emissions! The energy you use at home creates emissions, which impacts our air quality.
The tools and products you use in your lawn and garden can also contribute to poor air quality.
Keep exhaust levels down by reducing the amount of idling, both in your vehicle and those around your community.
The MARC Air Quality program has issued an Ozone Action Alert for Wed. Sept. 2. Details >
