Buying local, seasonal produce reduces your carbon footprint. This month, we suggest zucchini:

1️⃣ Slice into rounds
2️⃣ Sauté in oil until browned
3️⃣ Push zucchini to the side, add butter & minced garlic, cook 1 min
4️⃣ Stir, season with 🧂&🌶️, then serve! 🤤

We're experiencing and forecasting mostly moderate 🟨 air quality across the DC-Baltimore region, improving to good 💚 on Sunday.

If possible, delay emitting activities like driving 🚗 and gas-powered yard work (mowers and blowers) 🌱 until air quality improves on Sunday.
