Evansville resident Carly Cresswell-Watson is advertising the bag of air on the Internet auction site eBay to draw attention to the region’s air pollution.
“I wanted to do this for my little environmental group — five or six ladies who get together to try to solve environmental problems down here,†said Cresswell-Watson, who moved to Evansville five years ago.
Cresswell-Watson, who has 1- and 5-year-old sons, said she was shocked to find that what she thought was an idyllic locale sits in an area of one of the greatest concentrations of coal-burning power plants in the nation.
