Since the mid-1970's, Victoria County has encountered problems with
attaining the Environmental Protection Agency's national air quality
standards for ozone formation. In 1995, Victoria was designated as
a near non-attainment area. With intentions to maintain non-attainment
status, City Council member Wayne Watkins led efforts to develop strategies
for a program of public education on air quality issues. Together
with Anita Brunsting, today a faculty member at Victoria College, Watkins
developed an innovative program of public awareness informing Victoria
area residents about air quality.
This approach of public education about air quality issues is the
first of it's kind in a Texas near-non-attainment area because it
does not invoke ordinances or laws on the public but encourages voluntary
compliance.
Today, Air Victoria educates all citizens of Victoria County about
air quality through civic organization presentations, classroom presentations,
public education events, media outlets and on the web.
If your organization, classroom or citizen group would like to hear
more about how air quality affects Victorians today, please contact
environmental programs coordinator. |
