We can be proud that we live in a state that takes the quality of the air we breathe seriously. California continues to lead the nation and the world in reducing vehicle emissions. It developed the world's strictest pollution standards and the world's most extensive inspection program to meet those standards. It was the first to require catalytic converters, the first to remove lead from gasoline, and the first to convert statewide to cleaner, reformulated gasoline. And California continues to lead the way, by using the enormous buying clout of its 35 million citizens to require even "cleaner car choices."
