I suspect you are correct when it comes to things like cutting the lawn of sealing the driveway. (Unless one works for a landscaping company.)
However, the days that are most likely to be smog days are also more likely to be days when people choose to drive, because their cars are air conditioned, and walking to the bus stop is not.
Somebody (rufus? Maybe?) posted a recent study that places that have air conditioning are hotter than places in approximately the same climate that don't - well yeah, the heat has to go somewhere. And the extra need for energy means more power plants etc. People tend to think in terms that end when they get as far as the plug in the wall and then stop. They are conscious of decisions that make them cooler, but less so of how that results in increase the ambient temperature for everybody.
