When I went to do my story about saving our environment I thought it would be a quick hit and I’d be out of there. But when I spoke with the organizations spokesperson, she really made me scratch my head.

We have done so many stories about how Columbus is growing especially with BRAC and the Kia plant being so close. But you never hear people talk about how this will affect our air quality. Thousands of people equal thousands of cars.

If you haven’t noticed, (I have) there’s more traffic in certain parts of Columbus. Just the other day I was sitting in traffic thinking “traffic, in Columbus, huh?“ By the look of things, it will only get worse.

So now is the time for everyone to step up and take action by trying to preserve our air quality. From what Wanda Jenkins (Clean Air Campaign) tells me things aren’t looking too good for the Columbus area. If people don’t start taking action, there could soon be rules, inspections, and regulations in place that we will have to abide by. Some of those regulations would require drivers to cough up money as well.

If you go to the story about the Clean Air Campaign you can get more information on this cause. I was well informed today and plan to take action myself!
