You might believe air pollution is on the rise. You would be wrong. 40 years after the Clean Air Act, the U.S. and Minnesota have drastically cut emissions. So why doesn't anyone know about it?
Inhale. Exhale.
That lungful of clean air was brought to you by the reformed polluters of Minnesota.
They have slashed pollution by more than 50 percent since 1970. Smokestack industries have cut emissions by almost two-thirds. The biggest polluters — drivers — have cut pollution by 77 percent.
Put another way, air pollution per capita in America has dropped almost two-thirds.
