It’s time!

When you can’t enjoy the weather outside or even be comfortable inside your home because the smell is so irritating – it’s time!

When you find yourself driving down a side street through a heavy smoke screen that could be potentially dangerous because you can’t see what’s out there – it’s time!

When you think of all the people who have COPD or any respiratory problem, as well as children with asthma who have difficulty breathing because of burning, smoldering leaves – it’s time!

When you want to have understanding and compassion for others – it’s time!
