The minnesota pollution control agency is working on adopting a clean car standard.

Right now, there's one clean car standard set by the state of california under the clean air act and minnesota is trying to adopt those standards.

What this means is the mpca wants car dealers to have more ecoá friendly cars on their lots that produce lower emissions of greenhouse gasses and other air pollutants.

Thank you madelyne.
