6th Annual Do Your Share For
Cleaner Air Calendar Contest

Sponsored by: The Regional Ozone Coalition

Images of 2005 Calendar EntriesEach year since 1994, the Regional Ozone Coalition coordinates a Clear Air Kick-Off Event to recognize the beginning of the "smog season" in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Smog levels are monitored April 1st through October 31st each year. During these months, smog levels are at their highest due to weather conditions combined with area pollution. The majority of the pollution produced in our area comes from automobiles (about 45%). Smaller percentages of pollution come from consumer sources (such as gasoline-powered lawn equipment) and industrial sources.

To increase the community's awareness of smog in our area and to encourage residents to take actions that reduce the amount of pollution produced, the Regional Ozone Coalition is coordinating the 5th Annual Do Your Share For Cleaner Air calendar contest. By involving your students and educating them on the importance of clean air, we will all begin to breathe easier by reducing air pollution in our area. Each person can make a difference and with your participation, we can help educate and involve the community on the importance of clean air!

The Do Your Share for Cleaner Air calendar contest is open to students in grades K-12 from the following Ohio and Kentucky counties:

OHIO: Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren
