What's New?
Our Work is Paying Off...
...but we still have a long way to go! With every Idling Reduction Pledge that is made, air pollutants are prevented from affecting our local breathing environment, gasoline resources are saved for another time and money is saved. See how our work, although limited in scope at this time, is already making a difference!
Where did we come up with these numbers? See below for details or follow this link.

Clean Air Holly Springs spoke up for you at the state level Holly Springs!
The NC Utilities Commission is tasked with voting on a Carbon Reduction Plan for our state that our electricity provider, Duke Energy, will have to follow. The NCUC asked Duke Energy to draft their own plan that they could accept, scrap, or modify. The NCUC could just draft their own plan. This summer, the public has been invited to comment on Duke's draft plan. Rachel Woods, CAHS co-founder, attended the July 11, 2022 meeting in Durham to voice her concerns over the plans shortcomings. We invite you to read Rachel's statement and we encourage you to also weigh in on this critical plan for climate mitigation.
Read our public statement in regards to the Regional Haze Plan, a regulatory plan set by the EPA. This plan is meant to improve visibility in 4, NC Class 1 areas (parks). By reducing emissions from our state's largest polluters with a goal to improve visibility, we will also reduce the other negative effects of air pollution: health concerns, threats to wildlife and climate change. Our NC Division of Air Quality is putting forth a very weak plan and it must be amended in order to follow the federal laws, and to protect our wild areas and our public.
