We’re about to roll out a new look for the site in preparation for an important addition next week called Local Voices.

If all of that sounds good to you, if you’re eager for an audience for what you have to say, email john.barker@patch.com today.
- This year's Air Quality Awareness Week will be May 2 through 6. The Clean Air Campaign will work to educate Georgia about the health effects of air pollution. With the onset of warmer weather in Georgia, combined with sunshine and stagnant winds, create ideal conditions for ground-level ozone to form, a main component of smog. Air Quality Awareness Week is a reminder that Georgia residents and businesses can take actions to make a difference in the air we breathe. Each day, these programs reduce 1.4 million miles of vehicle travel and keep 700 tons of pollution out of the air we breathe. For more information, call 1-877-CLEANAIR (1-877-253-2624) or visit CleanAirCampaign.org.
