| Idling In Vermont The only New England state with no coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, Vermont is notable for the Green Mountains in the west and Lake Champlain in the northwest. Tourism is the state's largest industry and many resorts, hotels, restaurants, and shops, designed to attract tourists, host visitors all year round. |
To be able to provide attractions to millions of visitors in the future, the state has to establish an awareness of what air pollution is doing to Vermont's nature. The reduction of idling is one way for a single person to lower emissions and to make a difference. |
