As Gas Prices Go Up, The RAQC Says "Chill!"

According to this article in today's Denver Post, we are paying even more to fill up our vehicles here in Colorado than in other parts of the country!  Right now, gas prices are at an all-time high for our state. 

So, what can we do to save some green and breathe easier?  It's simple: Chill!  Instead of fighting traffic every morning, try taking the LightRail or carpool to and from work.  Better yet, ride your bike!  Keep in mind, the Denver region's annual Bike to Work Day is coming up.  They provide some great tips for safe biking and route planning.

Now that the weather is warming up, why not walk to lunch?  Try combining your errands and running them in the evening instead of during the heat of the day.  When you do have to fuel up (which is hopefully less often, if you follow these tips), make sure you refuel after 5 p.m. 

Stay tuned for more tips for taking care of our summer air!
