Report It!

Breathe Better (B2) is an anti-idling-clean air campaign/program focused on protecting public health on school campuses and at local businesses in South Carolina. Idling means that a vehicle's engine is turned on and creating pollution but the vehicle is not in motion. An idling vehicle wastes gas and produces harmful emissions that negatively affect air quality.
