If you have not filled out a survey yet for PlaniTulsa, please go to the following site to do so, http://www.planitulsa.org/whichwaytulsa

There has not been a new comprehensive plan to guide Tulsa development in more than 30 years!  Our city desperately needs to look forward to where we want growth and development in our city now.  Our future success and economic progress will depend on this document.

When you go to the PlaniTulsa site, there will be ample information about each of the four plans available to you.  You will be able to access the information you need to evaluate each of the four options.

Please consider this a very important civic duty to help plan Tulsa’s future.

We at PreserveMidtown take this process very seriously and endorse everyone’s participation in this last public planning step.  Please join us in this most important effort for Tulsa’s future.

     Do you know what your lungs are breathing? The American Lung Association State of the Air 2009 report shows that over 186 million Americans live in counties where air pollution endangers their lives. This includes over 40 million people in counties where the air failed every test.

     You can help make the air you breathe cleaner.  Tell the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen the air pollution health standards, known as National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter (soot) and ozone (smog). These standards protect your health by setting a legal limit on the safe levels of pollution in the air.

     The current standards set by the EPA are insufficient in protecting the health of sensitive populations such as children, the elderly, and those with heart and lung disease.

    Follow this link to see how we rank in Oklahoma and Tulsa air quality.  We must support cleaner air quality standards for ourselves and our children and grandchildren.  Cleaner air will reduce our personal costs for doctors fees, insurance fees, prescription costs along with lost wages and lost production time. 

Why are we spending more on being sick and having more problems breathing?  Dirty air is driving citizen and workplace costs higher and higher.
