You can see an awesome graph that charts the reduction AND our nation’s growth here – http://epa.gov/sciencematters/june2012/about.htm

And this site is a pretty good resource (and points to more in-depth resources) for air pollution emissions – http://www.epa.gov/oaqps001/emissns.html

How is that possible with the increase of human population? I know we have taken strides to eliminate auto emissions, but 50% seems a bit much. Even with gas prices continually increasing, I still see more gas guzzlers on the road than fuel efficient ones.

Well said, Katherine! Thanks for the info! I believe nature lovers are the ones who have fresh air to breathe and the ones who make our air clean.

Live forever and prosper!
