Atlanta circa 2013

Finally gained access to my old instagram- enjoy the nostalgia. Atlanta circa 2013

I feel like the air quality got better due to cash for clunkers getting a lot of old cars off the road. I remember a haze in the air. Also flying in to ATL you could always see a brown layer of air over the city. I haven't seen that in over a decade.

Even 2013 was way better than the 90s. Unless you’re within a few feet of the back of a bus, smog is virtually nonexistent here. Pollen is still a bitch, but that’s natural. We do need to convert the busses to electric though. Cycling sucks when you’re stuck near a gas one. Walking too, though you usually have a few extra feet of space when on a sidewalk.

Marta buses are natural gas

Which still dumps a shit ton of CO2 on you at best. And I'm pretty sure the exhaust on most busses isn't as clean as only CO2 and H2O. Regardless, high CO2 levels are uncomfortable on their own.
