I just assigned some students to do this... go to www.scorecard.org and put in your zip code. Most people are shocked to see where their area ranks in regards to pollution. I live in the middle of nowhere Iowa and my county still ranked in the top 10% of dirtiest counties nationwide.

Are you crossing in from Pennsylvania?  Cause if so...I live in PA and here's what I got...

"In 2002, this county ranked among the dirtiest/worst 10% of all counties in the U.S. in terms of total environmental releases."

Granted, I am on the other side of the state but....maybe Homer can fill you in on Philly...lol

I never noticed anything bad in PA, but I never really stayed in urban areas for too long. We took a trip once to the Poconos so we stayed the night in Harrisburg but other than that we were up at one of the somewhat secluded Caesar's resorts...which by the way I don't recommend!

Mine got in the 20%....but I'm curious as to if they plan to do that study again.....everything is from 2002...and I don't know about everyone else's areas...but when I looked at the list of companies contributing to the pollution, HALF the factories are now shut down
