THE AIR WE BREATHE is a collaborative effort of the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce, the Spartanburg Development Association, Upstate Forever, and Spartanburg County government, to reduce ground‐level ozone and other forms of air pollution in Spartanburg County. The goal of this campaign is to inform the general public about the impacts of ozone on community health, economic development and overall quality of life, and the easy behavioral changes they can make in their daily lives to decrease ground-level ozone.

Ozone Champions:

Boiling Springs Elementary School has been urging parents to turn off their car engines while in the drop-off and pick-up lines at the school. A number of other local schools have promoted no-idling strategies at their schools. Thanks to BSES and other schools helping to make a difference for the sake of the air we breathe!

Ozone Action of the Week:

Eliminating 5 seperate one-mile trips reduces about the same amount of ozone-related pollution as eliminating one 15-mile trip.
