State of the Air

Posted on April 27, 2012 in News

American Lung Association's 2012 State of the Air report is out! Look up how your county is doing and get involved in supporting strong clean air standards and rules so that all of Georgia can get to a "A" grade!

Take action TODAY-- the "GASP" Act is threatening to undermine clean air protections. This Act, HR4471, guts the Clean Air Act’s health-based air quality standards – the key measure that tells the public if the air we breathe is safe; the bill would also harm children’s health by allowing more dangerous smog from ozone and other pollutants.
