This week the Clean Air Campaign and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal kick off Air Quality Awarness Week. With the help of the campaign's nifty tool above, Canton residents can check the area's air quality daily by bookmarking this page.
“Air Quality Awareness Week is a great reminder that there are simple steps every one of us can take to make an immediate, positive impact on the air we breathe,” said Tedra Cheatham, executive director of The Clean Air Campaign, in a press release. “The great part is that many of the actions that are good for our air, such as using commute alternatives and reducing idling, are also good for our wallets.”
The Clean Air Campaign advises that one way residents can make a difference is by reducing their time in stop-and-go traffic. So don't forget to check out Canton Patch's live traffic map to reduce your time in your vehicle.
