Summer is here, and you've probably noticed that on some days the air quality is so poor you can't see the beloved Flatirons and Rockies. There are simple steps we can all take to protect our lungs and ways we can contribute to improving our air quality:

• When ozone levels are high, limit outdoor activities, especially high intensity outdoor exercise.
•Try carpooling with friends, turning off your car instead of idling, and mowing your lawn after 5 p.m.
