Young dancers spread clean air message
The Clean Air Crew dances through summer crowds encouraging people to reduce ozone!
Want to know how to reduce ground-level ozone this summer? You can start by watching out for the Clean Air Crew at major events in the Denver area this summer.
Maybe you've already seen the Clean Air Crew, a group of dance students from Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, chanting, clapping, stomping and kicking at the Capitol Hill People's Fair, the Juneteenth Celebration or at the Bike to Work event. If not there's more to come!
The Clean Air Crew brings a lot of energy to their performances, mixing right in with the crowd and chanting tips for reducing ground-level ozone and keeping our summer air clean.

Can anyone explain to me just what is the benefit of refueling after 5:00 PM?
I'm a 66 year old man who was raised in the Los Angeles area, where we had the worst smog in the country, and have never heard of the fuel time being a factor.
Thanks,

Ozone is formed when emissions from fuel "cook" in the heat and sunlight. By fueling up in the evening on these hot, sunny days of summer, you can limit the formation of ground-level ozone.
Hope that answers your question - see you at the pump after five!
