Due to heat and light winds in the forecast for Wednesday, it is  a Knozone Action Day.  Remember there are ways to help by reducing the time your car idles, carpooling or using public transportation and conserving electricity.  If you suffer from upper respiratory problems, take it easy late in the day when air quality will be at its worst.  Remember your pets too.
