What Can Be Done
Heavy industries make up a high percentage of pollutants causing ground ozone. Without drastically altering or eliminating industrial production in an area altogether, air quality improvements are very slight, though noticeable. Non-industrial pollutants, while not thought of to be a major pollutant group, can be more controlled with more positive change occurring.
Basic steps in limiting ground ozone during Ozone Action Days are:
- Controlling of auto emissions
- Eliminate excessive engine idling
- Ensure automotive exhaust system functions properly
- Avoid unnecessary driving whenever possible
- Don't refuel until after 6:00 pm
- Take public transportation (Cities such as Toledo provide free bus service on Ozone Action Days).
- Limit the use of lawn mowers and outdoor grills to after 6:00 pm
- Limit the use of aerosol cans around the home (for example, hair gel instead of hair spray)

Famous quotes containing the words what can, what, can and/or done:
“The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
“If what you mean by the word “matter” be only the unknown support of unknown qualities, it is no matter whether there is such a thing or no, since it no way concerns us; and I do not see the advantage there is in disputing about what we know not what, and we know not why.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“The worth that worthiness should move
Is love, that is the bow of Love.
And love as well the foster can
As can the mighty nobleman.
Sweet saint, ‘tis true you worthy be,
Yet without love nought worth to me.”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
