Gas prices are on a downward trend, both state and nationwide.

Even as gas prices get cheaper, some still worry about the residual effects on the climate.

“It is good that prices aren’t so high,” Erin Estrada told The Denver Post while filling up at a Shell in Westminster. “But at the same time I do hope that people try to be conscientious about their impact, how and when they drive and trying to be a little more sustainable really.”
