About

Treasure the Valley’s Air is a consortium of like minded individuals that realize the importance of reducing activities that contribute to harmful ozone.

It’s our goal to educate everyone on the steps we can take to prevent air pollution.  Activities like driving, mowing your lawn and even painting your house on poor air quality days can have significant impact on the air pollution in the valley.  Some of the things you can do to help.

Drive 10% less
Use public transportation or carpool
Ride your bike periodically
Turn your car off if idling more than 30 seconds
Work from home one day a week
Use electric or manual lawn mowers
Avoid using small gasoline engines on poor air quality days
Avoid painting on poor air quality days

These are just a few of the steps we can all take to make a difference.  A little less goes a long way.

A little less goes a long way.

A little less goes a long way in protecting Idaho's air quality. If everyone drove just 10% less it would significantly reduce harmful air pollution and keep the Treasure Valley under the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Reducing other activities like painting or mowing your lawn on poor air quality days also helps to improve the air we breathe. Exceeding the standards put forth by the EPA can result in increased restrictions and control which impacts economic growth. It's our goal to encourage everyone to do their part... well all breathe a lot easier.
