On Sunday, February 23, Colorado officials declared new air pollution rules for Colorado oil and gas companies. These new rules limit the amount of air pollution made by oil and gas drilling. It is stated, that it is the nation's first-ever plan to detect and reduce methane emissions.
When I heard about this I was really relieved that at least some people are trying to save the environment. Pollution is very bad for our planet and with it piling up, it is not getting any better. This is just a step for change and encourages people to change with them.

Colorado is really leading the pack on environmental reform. They also possess the cleanest public water in the country and are taking major steps to improve pollution control. I really hope other states, including Texas, take a page from their book and do something to keep our planet clean.
ReplyDeleteYay! It's about time more laws were passed to help the environment. Though America is no doubt one of the world's cleanest and most environmentally conscious countries, there's always room for improvement.
