The great thing about this piece is the way Rebecca Williams uses her personal experience to catalyze a discussion of a news-y topic. In fact, her personal perspective brings out an aspect of the topic (automobile pollution) that would otherwise have been hidden--the economic impact of pollution prevention on individual consumers.
It's a snappy, tight story, without any extra baggage. The ending is particularly smart, as Rebecca makes the story personal for the listener as well.
