You guys can bitch all you want, but the fact is, environmental legislation...generally pioneered in states like California, has had a positive impact.
Growing up in the 80's I remember the smog alert days, not being able to go out for recess on the playground. Back in the 40's/50's/60's, the smog was even worse. Well, California stepped in with emission legislation and has generally made the situation much better. Yes, the LA area in particular has still has the worst air pollution in the country, but the fact that we're surrounded by mountains that trap the smog is unavoidable. But, the stinging eyes and sore throats are now mostly a thing of the past.
