Georgia Employers, Commuters, Schools Rally Around Air Quality Awareness Week
Air Quality Awareness Week, occurring May 2-6, 2011, gives Georgia employers, commuters and schools reason to celebrate the milestones we've accomplished for cleaner air ... and remember the items that remain on our to-do list for a better Georgia. This photo with Governor Deal was taken at Monday's proclamation signing.

Thanks to a smart combination of regulatory control measures put in place over the past decade and voluntary actions that have helped bring more commuters to use alternatives to driving alone, the quality of the air we breathe is improving in Georgia. It's what happens next - in the face of population growth, increased demand for transportation options and tighter air quality standards - that will influence the air we breathe in the years ahead. There's more work to be done for cleaner air ... and we're grateful that more than 1,600 Georgia employers, tens of thousands of commuters and 350 schools have chosen to take up this mantle in partnership with The Clean Air Campaign. Happy Air Quality Awareness Week.
