The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has issued the a Spare the Air Smog Alert for tomorrow, Wednesday, September 7. While no free-transit magic will happen tomorrow -- or, quite possibly, ever again -- the Air District urges residents to drive less and reduce their energy use in an effort to lower pollutions levels while temperatures rise.

And look! The Air District gave us a list of clean air choices the public can make in order to live cleaner, more breathable lives. Check it:

• Bike to work or around town


• Take public transit


• Work at home or telecommute


• Carpool and link your errands to reduce driving


• Avoid using gas-powered lawn mowers and leaf blowers


• Reduce household energy use


• Don’t use lighter fluid on the barbecue


• Avoid using aerosol spray cleaners, paints and hairspray
