Hi Friends,
It’s the 4th of July, also known as America’s birthday. If you’re like me, you’ll be celebrating today with a BBQ, lots of swimming, and fireworks. While today is certainly going to be fun, let’s go over a few tips to make sure we still do our part to reduce air pollution – because, after all, it’s our country’s birthday!
Hi Friends,
School is out and I couldn’t be more excited for you! Summer vacation is the best time of year. You get to have so much fun, see all of your friends and hopefully get to go on a vacation, too!

Hi Friends,
The temperature is getting hotter and the sun is staying out longer. I love being outside, so this is my favorite time of year. One of my favorite hobbies is gardening. Plants help make clean air for us to breathe, so I always like to water my plants and even plant trees whenever I have the chance. Here are some of my favorite gardening tips that will help make sure you are gardening “green” and help Spare The Air in your neighborhood, and around your home!
