| Idling in South Dakota Located in the north-central United States, South Dakota is bisected by the Missouri River, dividing the state into two socially and economically distinct halves, known to residents as "East River" and "West River." Historically dominated by an agricultural economy and a rural lifestyle, South Dakota has recently sought to diversify its economy in an effort to attract and retain residents. |
The state is still largely rural, though, with one of the lowest population densities in the United States. Luckily, idling is not as serious an issue as it is in some other states, but it is still important that strides are made in its reduction. |
