(28,996 posts)because, since the industrial revolution and the explosion in the burning of fossil fuels, clean air hasn't come easily. In fact, the air was so UNCLEAN in 1970, that a REPUBLICAN president signed the EPA into law. I was a teenager in the dirty air 60's. I was born in 1947, but cars were burning gas and homes and industries were burning coal, so I'm sure the air wasn't so clean then. Back to my original question; how old are you to be "old enough to remember clean air?"
My daughter was born in Denver in 1988. The city was under new mandates from the EPA to clean up the disgusting brown cloud.. and guess what? We did! It's not perfect but it's a whole lot cleaner. Now, at some point, my 24 year old daughter could say "I'm old enough to remember clean air," but only if we go down the Rmoney road, and we've all read "The Road."
Michael Moore, love him or hate him, he's right on this!
