A big environmental issue effecting Maine today is the quality of the air. Maine has been in an ongoing struggle with protecting the quality of Maine air. A new program that has been adopted by many states is the Clean Cars Program. California is a big state that seems to be using this program to prevent it's air from becoming unhealthy. This program offers opportunities for states to cut tailpipe pollution and other car emissions which is supposed to improve air quality and reduce the effects of global warming. This program issues guidelines and ideas on how to drive and what kinds of cars to purchase. On Maine's LEV4ME website it tells people what they can do to prevent pollution like driving less and combining all errands in one trip. The website also talks about good driving habits and making sure people have their vehicle maintenance up to date. All of these things are major contributors to the pollution that lingers in the air that we breathe. If people begin to pay attention to this program and take advice and give advice to others we may see a huge improvement in our air quality in Maine.
