A short history of the milestones in green consuming since our nation's first Earth Day in 1970! It marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement...
Go environment! Don't let fossil fuels, C02, acidifying oceans, acid rain, the great pacific garbage patch, melting ice caps, mass die-offs, the gulf coast, BP, increased development, corn ethanol, deforestation, or any number of other crises you are facing keep you down!
I'm not trying to be a downer...but even though this article points to fuel economy improvements in automobiles, the carbon footprint of from all cars has actually increased in the last 40 years because of a shift toward purchasing SUVs, which have an average fuel economy 29% lower than the average car and have not improved their average fuel economy over the last decade. Bummer.
