Ozone Action Heroes is a community awareness campaign developed by PGC Creative for the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) to empower, educate and encourage people and organizations to improve air quality through simple, yet heroic actions such as turning off lights, refueling vehicles after 6:00 p.m. and sharing rides or using public transportation whenever possible.
One aspect of the campaign included a contest to see which Central Texas school could recruit the most Ozone Actions Heroes this fall. The school contest encouraged students, families and organizations in the 5 county Austin Metro region to take the ozone heroes’ pledge by registering at www.ozoneheroes.com
And the Winner is….Pflugerville Middle School! Congratulations! Go Panthers! Students at the school will receive a special recognition award from CAMPO and an Amy’s Ice Cream party in March for their efforts to help spread the word about reducing the effects of ground level ozone.
