To the Editor:
Long Beach Island is a home to many and a vacation destination to thousands. This little barrier island experiences an influx of car traffic once Labor Day hits. It goes from a deserted island to a thriving summer destination. With the increase of tourists to LBI, there is also an increase in car pollution. We are already seeing the changes to our beaches with the effects of climate change, like rising sea levels and more severe storms.
Emissions from the transportation sector make up nearly half of New Jersey’s greenhouse gas pollution.
