To keep our air from getting filthy, we must move faster | Opinion Updated 9:48 AM; Today 9:48 AM Ed Potosnak, executive director of the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters, says New Jersey will have to undergo a rapid transformation to meet the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Facebook Share By Ed Potosnak As so many New Jerseyans continue to cut back on our normal activities and work from home to reduce the spread of COVID-19, many of us may not be able to remember the last time we filled up our gas tanks. With fewer gas-powered vehicles on the roads, there has been a noticeable reduction in carbon emissions. While we fervently hope that we can resume most of our past activities in the near future, we have an opportunity to rethink our transportation systems and create a new normal to improve our poor air quality, protect the environment and fight climate change.
