We are out of ozone season here in Kentuckiana, but we will still keep you informed about local air quality. Forecasts continue for particle pollution throughout the winter months. KAIRE will also keep you informed about issues involving local air quality and sustainability. As always, we will promote air friendly programs like Idle Free, which encourages us all to help keep the air in our communities cleaner, no matter what the season.
6 billion gallons. That’s a lot of gallons, people.
From the smart folks at the Cape Cod Times:
Wednesday, September 19, 2018, is an Air Quality Alert Day for ozone in Louisville/Southern Indiana. Forecasters believe ozone will be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (orange) range. Sensitive groups include seniors, children, and people with breathing ailments like asthma and COPD. The general public is not likely to be affected.

Healthy Hoops® Kentucky is a special initiative that uses basketball and fun to focus on the needs of kids with asthma and breathing problems. Under the guidance of celebrity basketball coaches and medical experts, children from the ages of 7 to 14 and their families will participate in a full day of health awareness, entertainment, asthma screenings, and basketball drills and skills workshops! It is free, open to the public but registration is required.
Join us on Saturday, September 22 at Central High School for this fun and free event.
One of KAIRE’s mantras has always been “Breathe.” So when the Harrison County, Indiana YMCA yoga class made a special request for some KAIRE Breathe t-shirts, we dug through the storage room to make it happen. Abby Coffman teaches this all-ages class. We think the shirts look great! Namaste!
