Looks like we're going to reach more than 90 degrees today...again. With all the heat and the Ozone Action Alerts issued this month, RAQC wants to help you chill.
The RAQC and partners including REI, Chipotle, Denver Boulder Couriers and KBCO-FM have teamed up for the Summer Chill campaign to encourage Denver residents to avoid the activities that cause ground-level ozone pollution (driving, mowing the lawn, etc.) Instead, just chill on those hot summer days! Relax and stick to healthier activities like riding your bike, taking a walk or a hike. Mowing the lawn can wait!
Even better, our partners are offering some cool incentives to help you chill. Over the summer, the RAQC will be giving out FREE burrito bucks from Chipotle, coupons from REI, passes to Six Flags Elitch Gardens and tons of other cool prizes. All you have to do is take the Chill Pledge to be eligible for these great prizes, so check it out online or at the downtown REI store.
Check back soon for more info. on Summer Chill and ways you can help take care of our summer air!
Hi,
I'd just like to say thanks for putting all this information up here. I noticed that their weren't a lot of comments on the site, but I hope that people still read it. Many it seems prefer to just turn a blind eye to a problem that isn't as super disasterous as it could be, waiting until it really adversely affects their everyday lives. This is one step that will start things changing.
Thank you.
-Chris
